What is Bixby

Bixby is an AI voice assistant controller from Samsung. Samsung calls the new voice assistant Bixby. It is designed to make the voice interaction easier. Bixby was intruded when Galaxy S8 unveiled.  This is an equivalent of the Siri in iPhone and Alexa for amazon. But it is a lot smarter than Siri. On the Galaxy Note 8 and S8 flagships, BixBy can do a number of tasks. For example, if you have a Samsung TV and you are watching a movies on your S8 or Note 8, you can instruct BixBy to display it on your Samsung TV. It works even if your screen is off. In the beginning I was skeptical of its usage, but it admit-ably has made me lazy, as I can use it for many useful tasks. BixBy will mature with time, but for now it knows enough tasks to get you going without having to type or search for some tasks.

The following are some simple commands that Bixby can do.

1. BixBy go to home screen
2. Bixby Connect to TV (if you have a Samsung TV capable of screen mirroring this command  
    automatically connects to the TV)
3. Bixby open Amazon (it opens amazon)
4. Bixby take a screenshot
5. Bixby open Youtube and search for ...anything you want her to search for.
6. Bixby Check traffic on 405 freeway.
7. Device Maintenance (takes you to device maintenance)
8. Swipe Left
9. Swipe Right
10. Set up the alarm for 6:00 am

These are some of the simple commands that Bixby can perform for you. It can handle a lot more complex commands that Siri on the iPhone is unable to do. Samsung claims that Bixby can perform over 3000 tasks, and it is learning on a daily basis.  We really like Bixby as it makes voice interaction a lot easier, and it specially comes handy when you are driving and you want to be hands free.
