Pei Qian coughed lightly. "So, do you have an idea on how to do this intelligent voice assistant?"
Chang You was a little confused. "Er … Boss Pei, what do you mean by 'idea'?"
Pei Qian explained. "Pineapple cell phones also have intelligent voice assistants. Shenhua Corporation and some other companies must be considering developing their own intelligent voice assistants, right?
"Even if we can be a little faster than other domestic companies, we definitely won't be much faster. After all, this technology belongs to Xunke Technologies. Everyone can use it.
"How can we ensure that our intelligent voice assistant can stand out from the other intelligent voice assistants of many companies?"
Chang You was stunned. "Er …"
"Boss Pei, I'm afraid this will be difficult to achieve in the short term.
"Most companies should be directly using the ready-made technology of Xunke Technology. We don't have any accumulation in this area. Even if we optimize some details, it's impossible to widen the gap with other companies in a short time."
"Moreover, the current voice assistants are called 'artificial intelligence', but their actual workflow is to 'recognize speech, determine meaning, and execute actions'. In other words, they judge the user's intentions through some keywords, but they can't really understand the meaning."
"If you want to make the voice assistant useful, it's not so much technical work. To some extent, it's more like physical work."
"Therefore, even if we work hard to develop it, it is impossible to open a big gap with the intelligent voice assistants of other companies in terms of practicality.
"Or … Boss Pei, do you have a better idea?"
Pei Qian smiled slightly. "There are many ways to make characteristics without considering the technical aspect.
"For example, its personality."
Chang You was stunned for a moment. "Personality? Boss Pei, I just said that this voice assistant can't really understand the meaning of our words. "
Pei Qian nodded. "I know, the so-called 'personality' is actually a kind of packaging.
"If I'm not wrong, the intelligent voice assistants produced by Xunke Technologies and most companies should be very sweet and polite, right? They are all trying to be close to the real human voice, right? "
Chang You nodded. "Yes, yes, can this be made into anything else?"
Pei Qian: "Of course.
"Ayis is made into a purely electronic mechanical sound, do not have any emotions. Moreover, all the answers must be extremely concise and never say a word more. "
Chang You was stunned. "But, Boss Pei, that would make our voice assistant look very silly."
"The user asks a question. If Aiz answers it in a particularly concise way, the user might not be able to react or hear it clearly. They will ask again, and if the answer is the same both times, it will be very stupid."
"Using a purely electronic mechanical voice makes it seem even more stupid."
"Other voice assistants will basically use some ready-made and recorded sentences. On the one hand, this will give the user time to react, and on the other hand, it will appear more natural and intelligent."
"For example, if a user asks' what's the temperature tomorrow? ', the current approach is to automatically identify keywords and reply: Hello, I've already checked tomorrow's weather for you. It's sunny tomorrow, XX to XX degrees, how's the wind?"
"The more information there is, the smarter the voice assistant is."
"According to what you said, Boss Pei, we'll answer directly: XX to XX degrees.
"If the user doesn't hear it clearly, he will ask again, and AIS will directly answer XX degrees to XX degrees, giving people a very stiff and stiff feeling."
Pei Qian thought about it. "Hmm … this seems to be a problem."
"How about this, if the user asks the same question twice, we'll answer it in a different way."
"For example, if the user asks how the temperature tomorrow is, the first answer is XX to XX degrees. The second time, the answer is: XX to XX degrees. You just asked this question. Do you want to navigate to the nearest hospital to check for diseases that may affect your hearing or memory?"
Chang You was stunned. "Boss … Boss Pei, we can't insult our users …"
Pei Qian smiled slightly. "How is this insulting? This is obviously expressing concern for the user. "
"AIS is an elegant and easy-going intelligent voice assistant. It can't swear. It will only answer the user's questions very straightforwardly and will express' concern 'to the user from time to time."
"This highlights AIS's character: it is a very smart intelligent voice system. It is precisely because it is so smart that it only answers the questions you ask, very directly and very simply."
"Moreover, it is also because it is so smart that if you ask it the same question repeatedly, it will think that you are stupid and propose 'kind concern'."
"Wouldn't this be completely different from other intelligent voice systems?"
Chang You's mouth was slightly open, and his expression was confused. He did not recover for a long time.
He felt that something was wrong; something big had gone wrong!
"Then … Boss Pei, should AIS's voice be male or female? Do you want to find a good voice actor to dub it or something? "
Pei Qian was just about to say 'very unpleasant male voice', but he felt that it was wrong on second thought.
This was a lesson learned from Game Designer's mistakes!
At that time, Lu Mingliang was used to dub it, and something happened. Until now, many players still regarded that cheap male voice as a classic.
A female voice?
That would not do. With such an elegant and easy-going personality, it might attract countless fans and become a virtual idol on the spot.
Pei Qian thought about it carefully. "An emotionless electronic voice, male or female."
There should be no problem with a neutral electronic voice, right?
Chang You was very confused. He quickly recorded in the small notebook, feeling that it was not reliable no matter how he thought about it.
However, since Boss Pei had already said so, he would do as he said.
If the effect was not good, he could change it again.
Pei Qian continued. "That's right, are you planning to make a smart speaker for it?
"In other words, apart from Otto cell phones, this smart system will also be installed on the speaker?"
Chang You nodded. "That's right, Boss Pei.
"As far as I know, there are some other companies that are also doing similar projects."
"Since it's an intelligent voice, it must have a speaker.
"Since there is a speaker, it is most practical to make it a Bluetooth speaker. This is a very normal business idea."
Pei Qian shook his head. "This idea is too common!
"If others make speakers and we do the same, we can only compare the parameters and appearance of the speaker. That's meaningless.
"We should inject soul and artistry into it."
Chang You was in awe. "Inject soul? Artistry? Boss Pei, can you be more specific? "
Pei Qian coughed lightly. "Put this smart speaker and the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine together and make it the AEEIS artificial intelligence Bickering Machine!"
Chang You: "Huh?"
He almost thought that he had heard wrongly.
The Fully-Automated Bickering Machine … wasn't that a handicraft designed by Boss Pei previously?
Wasn't it the square black box that would automatically bounce up when the metal stick was pressed?
Put the smart speaker together with this thing?
That was too incompatible!
This time, Chang You was really shocked. If the previous requests were reasonable, this time, it was too fantastical!
Chang You hurriedly said, "Boss Pei, think twice!
"I bought a Fully-Automated Bickering Machine too. It is indeed very thought-provoking and has a deep philosophical meaning, but the space inside has basically been used up, right?
"I can't stuff a smart speaker in at all!
"If you want to put these two things together, it means that the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine has to be redesigned and reproduced.
"However, many of the original Fully-Automated Bickering Machine have been sold. Those who wanted to buy it have already bought it. The new version of the artificial intelligence Bickering Machine would definitely not be easy to sell!
"The Fully-Automated Bickering Machine is sold for 488 yuan, and this smart speaker would be sold for at least 300 yuan. That would be 800 yuan in total. It's too expensive.
"How would people who have already bought the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine be willing to buy it again?
"The most important thing is that these two things have no connection with each other at all."
Pei Qian was silent for a moment. "There is … still a connection.
"The Fully-Automated Bickering Machine is essentially a contrarian spirit. However, a contrarian who can't speak is not a complete contrarian. "
"As the saying goes, contrarians rely on words to bicker. They are not afraid to carry it all over the world.
"On the other hand, what about the smart speaker? It has no personality, no characteristics, no artistic connotation.
"If it is combined with a work of art like the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine, then our smart speaker would have characteristics and artistic connotation.
"Thus, it evolved into the AEEIS artificial intelligence Bickering Machine!
"At that time, when customers play with the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine, AEEIS will communicate with them cordially and say things like 'humans always waste their time on meaningless things'.
"Isn't that a good match?
"What's more, the sound system has to be of a high grade. A sound system that costs more than two hundred yuan would really only be able to listen to the sound and pull down the style.
"Most companies should be able to achieve a price of around two hundred yuan. The competition is too fierce. We should implement the previous principle of dislocation competition.
"No one will compete with us for the price range of two thousand yuan and above.
"Directly spend money to make it about two thousand yuan. Add the cost of the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine and make it 2588 yuan!
"This product will be unique. There will not be any similar products for a few months or even a year or two after our product is released!"
Chang You was stunned.
He blinked his eyes, feeling that something was wrong, but he did not know how to refute it.
There would not be a similar product for a few months or even a year or two? Boss Pei, your words are still too conservative. I'm afraid you will not see a similar product appear in your lifetime!
Combining the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine and the smart speaker into one and turning it into an artificial intelligence Bickering Machine?
How did you think of that?!
Chang You wanted to say something more, but he silently swallowed his words when he thought of Boss Pei's previous strategy and divine calculation.
However, he recorded everything Boss Pei said in a small notebook.
"Alright, Boss Pei, we'll do as you say.
"The AEEIS artificial intelligence Bickering Machine is our first attempt to enter the artificial intelligence home field."
Pei Qian smiled and nodded. "Yes, I believe this will be a good start!"
