Since the launch of Bixby, Samsung has been striving to make its AI platform more intelligent, integrated, and useful to its customers across product categories. Continuing its efforts, the company hosted the first Bixby Developer Day in Seoul to attract more third-party developers to expand the reach and capabilities of its AI platform.
Samsung showcased the new Bixby Developer Studio and offered training sessions for the same at the event, which had nearly 800 local developers in attendance. The Bixby Developer Studio was first unveiled at the Samsung Developer Conference in San Francisco earlier this month. It is currently available for developers in the US, Korea, and China.
Samsung aims to improve Bixby’s speech recognition
Samsung claimed at the forum that it has more third-party developers on its AI platform than Google. The company said it is working to improve the accuracy of Bixby’s speech recognition by providing better development tools for third-party developers around the world. The Korean tech giant also reiterated support for more languages on Bixby in the coming months.
“Bixby’s speech recognition capabilities will continue improving as we draw more outside developers who are using the same tool as the inside developers,” said Lee Ji-soo, Vice President, AI, Samsung IT & Mobile Communications Division, at the event. He further said, “Samsung is focusing on increasing the variety of objects that can have interactions with humans through the voice assistant, whether it be a mobile device, TV, refrigerator or an air conditioner.”
