A software application that uses technologies like natural language processing (NLP) to understand and respond to text and voice commands is called an artificial intelligence (AI) assistant. They can do many things that human assistants can do, such as read texts, take notes, make phone calls, and much more.

AI assistants can be accessed from anywhere via an internet connection because they are frequently cloud-based. They can also be connected to smart devices, further integrating them into your daily routine. The most advanced AI assistants are highly customized through self-learning algorithms. They could pick up on your speaking habits or preferences, for instance.

This article explores some of the interesting voice-based generative AI assistants:

GPT-4o

The fact that OpenAI's GPT-4o is more sophisticated and better suited to build intricate apps with lots of features attests to its higher degree of "development" and capacity to produce more extensive code. It is the newest flagship model, which was previewed during the recent OpenAI Spring Update announcement. It offers GPT-4-level intelligence but is faster and has enhanced text, voice, and vision capabilities. GPT-4o is far more adept at comprehending and debating the photographs you share than any other currently used model.

Hume AI (EVI) 

Hume AI is about understanding human emotions and improving interactions between robots and humans. With the hope of informing future AI advancements, it seeks to comprehend and react to a broad spectrum of emotional states. The company is working on specialized AI models to identify emotions in different cultural settings, meeting users' needs worldwide. More interactive and engaging virtual reality experiences are being developed with the help of emotion recognition algorithms developed by Hume AI.

Perplexity AI

Perplexity's NLP-based search engine is its primary offering. It provides a customized search result by utilising the context of the user's queries. Perplexity generates a paragraph with inline citations and summarizes the search results. It facilitates information creation, organization, and sharing. Large datasets of human speech, with various voices, accents, and languages, were used to train this model. The model's thorough training enables it to provide high-quality speech outputs in multiple scenarios and generalize effectively.

Claude AI

Claude's capacity to process large volumes of information, high speed, and code of ethics allow you to utilize AI for complex analysis and content generation effectively. Nevertheless, being aware of potential inaccuracies and restricted capabilities is crucial. Claude is an AI assistant capable of producing responses that are both human-like and natural to users' queries and prompts. Claude is accessible via the Claude mobile app or the web and can respond to text or image-based inputs.

Google Gemini

Gemini for Google Cloud is a new iteration of AI assistants designed to assist developers, Google Cloud services, and applications. These help users better understand data, overcome security obstacles, and enhance their productivity and coding skills. Sergey Brin, a co-founder of Google, is acknowledged for his collaboration with other Google employees in developing the Gemini LLMs.

Project Astra

Unveiled at Google I/O 2024, Project Astra has the potential to become one of Google's most significant AI resources. "A universal AI agent that is helpful in everyday life" is how Astra is being marketed. It is comparable to Google Gemini but offers more features and enhanced conversational capabilities.
