# Automated App-Opening Interfaces Snips is an Interface for Connected Devices That is Context-Aware By Alyson Wyers | Published 2015-06-10 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interface-for-connected-devices References: [springwise](http://www.springwise.com/context-aware-interface-automatically-launch-app-time/) & [snips.net](http://snips.net/) This contextually aware interface for connected devices uses big data and [artificial intelligence](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triggs-ai) to find patterns and enable your smartphone to open the right app at the right time. Snips identifies repeated behavior so that it can come to perform them automatically. Therefore, the interface lets users access the services and information they require without having to search for them first. For example, if you check your weather app immediately after turning off your alarm clock, Snips will see that and start opening it for you. The objective of the interface for connected devices is to make tech work for its users without the need for intentional interaction. This makes technology less visible and more context-aware. Currently in beta, Snips takes the concept behind ideas like [IFTTT](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aqara-g4) to the next level with [automation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/semblian-20). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Context-aware Interfaces:** Snips uses big data and AI to create a context-aware interface for connected devices. - **Automated Behavior Recognition:** Snips identifies repeated behavior and automatically performs tasks based on user patterns. - **Invisible Technology:** Snips makes technology less visible by automating tasks and reducing the need for intentional interaction. ### Where This Applies - **Smart Home:** Snips can be integrated into smart home devices to create a seamless and automated user experience. - **Mobile App Development:** Developers can use Snips' context-aware interface to create smarter and more intuitive mobile applications. - **Digital Assistants:** Snips' automation capabilities can enhance the functionality of digital assistants by proactively opening relevant apps or services. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Powered Web-Monitoring Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-clutter.md) - [Proactive AI Automations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sentient.md) - [AI Development Automation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snippfy.md) - [Cohesive App Interfaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/native-ai.md) - [AI Workflow Managers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snappyai.md) - [AI-Powered App Development](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quick-snack.md) - [Privacy-Focused Personal AI](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-intelligence.md) - [Mac Productivity Assistant](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snapai.md) - [AI Personal Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/icon-ai.md)
