[DEMO Mobile] Sherpa is currently the number one voice personal assistant for Android in the Spanish-speaking world, according to the company. Sherpa for the Spanish language was launched in October 2012 and today, it makes its debut in the US market both in English and in Spanish.
Yesterday, I met with Sherpa’s founder and CEO Xabier Uribe-Etxebarria who built the algorithm that powers Sherpa, which is the result of his research in advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) and semantics technologies.
Xabier Uribe-Etxebarria showed me a demo of Sherpa that was quite impressive: using complex voice commands, the system can perform a number of intelligent tasks such as booking a flight, starting the navigation app to the next meeting’s location, playing music, getting relevant information about concerts, displaying in depth information related to a public figure or paying via Paypal.
