Siri, the intelligent personal assistant or knowledge navigator, was first released by Apple on the IPhone 4S on October, 14, 2011. This released led to a large increase in development of computerized assistants within the OS and mobile phone industries, with Apple's major competitor, Windows, releasing Cortana on April 2nd 2014. Despite these new advancements within the field, creation of A.I. personal assistant's really started with the natural language processing programs developed in the 1970s, most famously Eliza.
Eliza was one of many programs created during the 1970s as attempts to pass the Turing Test. Eliza was a program that simulated the speech of a Rogerian psychotherapist. It attempts to leading questions to continue and carry on conversations without saying anything particularly meaningful. Like Siri and Cortana there is no true intelligence within Eliza , it mainly just scans for keywords within sentences posed by the user and then responds according to that prompt. Eliza was the first of many chatterbots, a computer program designed to carry on conversation with a person through visuals or text based means. In a way all personal assistant A.I. to this day have been created based on this model.
Siri as stated previously, is a A.I. assistant developed by Apple for their iOS operating system. it uses natural language processing (like Eliza) to answer questions and make recommendations to the user through internet access. Siri is one of the main advertising points for Apple's major line of phones, the iPhone, and often overshadows the phone itself. Apple describes Siri as a "do engine" something that allows the user to speak to the internet directly. It was designed to be an active participant in the users everyday life, not something that is passive like a computer or the phone itself. Siri was meant to be "a kinder, gentler version of HAL" and is often considered the poster child of Personal Assistant A.I. in the modern era.
In 2014 Microsoft created their own A.I. (Cortana) for their Windows operating systems in order to compete with Apple. Cortana takes her namesake from an Artificial Intelligence from the popular sci-fi video game series Halo. Similar to Siri, Cortana utilizes natural language processing to analyze keywords and sentence structure in order to answer the user's questions.
AI Personal Assistant is capable of doing tasks whether it of home or office. In many offices and companies, IPA has made its place by removing the personal assistant because it can do every task that one personal assistant can do even in a better way.
