Voice-based virtual assistants such as Google's Now, Amazon’s Alexa, and Apple’s Siri are proving to be popular with consumers. However, they're still not what many people consider a "true" personal assistant, which needs to be sensitive to the context and user preferences.

Natural language understanding and dialog management are the most important parts of our technology pipeline.
