If there is a section that has grown in recent years in terms of sales figures, it is that of smart speakers, since the truth is that it has become a whole sector that makes a difference, thanks to Google, Amazon, among other companies. and even (although somewhat later) Apple.
Now, apparently the intention of Apple is to continue ascending in terms of artificial intelligence thanks to Siri, because recently we have been able to know that they would have bought the PullString company, which has been a startup that would have helped to some extent the development of Alexa with the Amazon Echo, improving the so-called voice applications that are included within the virtual assistant.
PullString, the new startup acquired by Apple to improve Siri intelligence
As we have been able to know, as the medium has recently published Axios, apparently from Apple they would have already signed the corresponding contracts to carry out the acquisition of the startup PullString, which in this case according to the information that appears on its website, we see that it is one of the many companies behind the development of Amazon Alexa, in addition to the creation of some systems present in Google Assistant, located in San Francisco.
In this way, although we have to bear in mind at all times that Apple has not published any details related to this purchase, since they have not even confirmed to us if this has been the case, it seems that All this could mean that those from Cupertino have finally wanted to bet on improving Siri, their own virtual voice assistant, to the maximum in terms of intelligence and capabilities, and in this regard it seems that PullString in one way or another could help them.
Also, we must note that as indicated by some sources, it seems that This company was originally created in 2011 by some employees of the animation firm PixarWe must remember that it is closely linked to Apple, in order to automate certain processes of creating voices for toys, although as you may have seen it has undergone a great change.
