# Artificially Intelligent Voice Apps Wit Lets Developers Add Siri Like Functionality to All Apps By Michael Baxter | Published 2014-02-20 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voice-app References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2014/02/siri-platform-api.html) & [wit.ai](https://wit.ai/) Voice apps have been around almost as long as smartphones have, but they all operate differently. Being able to have a concise [voice activated interface](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/11ai) for everything one does would go a long way to making sure voice apps work the way they should, and that's where Wit comes in. Siri is the biggest name when people think to voice interfaces. [Google](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voxapro) also has their own AI style voice interface but both of these platforms operate completely differently. Wit is a developer's tool that will allow developers to add Siri type functionality to any app. Wit will also allow developers to add [voice app type usage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wispr-flow) to robots and wearable devices. With the popularity of both of those things on the rise this development couldn't have come at a better time. For those who aren't fans of the tactile experience, having voice controlled functionality will be a huge plus. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Concise Voice-activated Interfaces:** The trend of concise voice-activated interfaces is disrupting the way voice apps operate, providing a seamless user experience. - **Siri-like Functionality for All Apps:** The trend of adding Siri-like functionality to any app allows developers to enhance user interactions and improve convenience. - **Voice-enabled Robots and Wearables:** The trend of incorporating voice app usage in robots and wearable devices offers new possibilities and increased accessibility for users. ### Where This Applies - **Mobile App Development:** The mobile app development industry can benefit from integrating concise voice-activated interfaces, enhancing user engagement and improving overall experience. - **Artificial Intelligence (AI):** The AI industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by incorporating Siri-like functionality into various applications, expanding AI capabilities. - **Robotic Technology:** The robotic technology industry can leverage voice-enabled applications to enhance the interactions and functionalities of robots, opening up new avenues for innovation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Enabled Speech-to-Text Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wispr-flow-app.md) - [Voice Interaction Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voice-ai-widget.md) - [AI-Powered Voiceover Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elevenlabs-app.md) - [Unified App Controls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concierge-ai.md) - [Voice-Driven AI Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humanizerme.md) - [Wearable Productivity Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chirp-ai.md) - [AI Voice Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-voicer.md) - [Voice Productivity Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/willow-voice.md) - [Personal AI Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whereable-ai.md)
