# Realistically Responsive Software MAKO Obeys Voice Commands Like 'Read' or 'Write' By Jen Chae | Published 2013-10-18 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mako References: [kickstarter](http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1727746501/mako-artificial-intelligence-program-that-does-eve) & [kickstarter](http://www.kickstarter.com/profile/1727746501) Seems like using a keyboard or mouse on your computer is outdated; with MAKO, a new [artificial intelligence software](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skywork-desktop), you don’t need anything but your voice to get tasks done. You can even create a PowerPoint presentation without once touching the keyboard or mouse. You voice is MAKO’s command. It understands and obeys voice commands like “Open [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audiobox),” “What’s the weather like?” or “Show me flights from LA to Washington.” Not only does the program perform given tasks, but it also speaks back to you in an American female or British male voice. Think Siri, but on your computer with a shorter response time. This software is incredibly smart; using biometrics, it will recognize your voice, age and even phone number after being introduced to you once. MAKO can identify up to 10 people who are talking to it at the same time. And with its memorization system in place, it gets more and more intelligent every time it reads something. MAKO’s ability to type or read text will change the way you do everyday assignments. Flaunting an extensive list of special features, MAKO is suited to be a man’s – and especially a student’s – best friend. MAKO is currently raising funds on [Kickstarter](http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1727746501/mako-artificial-intelligence-program-that-does-eve). The creator firmly believes that this breakthrough software will revolutionize the way humans interact with technology. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Voice-controlled Software:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop voice-controlled software for various applications, offering a hands-free and efficient user experience. - **Artificial Intelligence Assistants:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create AI assistants that can understand and respond to voice commands, enhancing productivity and ease of use in different tasks. - **Biometric Recognition:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore biometric recognition technology to personalize software based on user characteristics, optimizing user experience and efficiency. ### Where This Applies - **Software Development:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop software with advanced voice recognition capabilities to cater to the growing demand for hands-free interfaces. - **Artificial Intelligence:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Expand AI technology to create more intelligent virtual assistants that can perform tasks based on voice commands, improving user convenience. - **Biometrics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Apply biometric recognition technology to enhance software functionalities and create personalized user experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Voice-Enabled Digital Paper Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-paper-tools.md) - [Personable Voice-Powered AI Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mia1.md) - [Voice-Driven AI Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humanizerme.md) - [AI-Powered Keyboard Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autokeybo.md) - [Listening AI Companions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personalized-ai.md) - [Tongue-Controlled Digital Interfaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-interfaces.md) - [Voice-Powered Productivity Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/talk-task.md) - [Conversational AI Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mandrake.md) - [Voice Productivity Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/willow-voice.md)
