In Russia, many Internet users have gained an idea of the voice assistant market thanks to the Yandex Alice and Google Assistent applications. In fact, the market is much broader and is in the early stages of development along an exponential curve:
The future has already arrived and continues to grow enormously, while remaining invisible to the majority of the population, including advanced users.
The market has already formed and is at the stage of rapid growth, while there is now a huge shortage of content and it is predicted that in the near future the problem with content will become even more acute. Let's take a look at the comparison with the mobile app market:
Having the same number of hardware devices (after all, any mobile device can have an application with a voice assistant installed), the number of applications for voice assistants is less than 100, which is about one percent of the number of applications for mobile devices: 000 million for APPstore + 2,2 million Google Play And about 2.8% of applications are gaming content:
With such obvious advantages of this market, there is no excitement among development companies. Looking at the list of skills for Yandex Alice and Google Assistent applications, it becomes clear that there are currently only two serious gaming solutions that fully utilize the full power of audio interaction in the entertainment sector. Here are video trailers for them:
The first part of the voice trilogy “Cyborgs, will and justice” for Yandex Alice
and horror quest “The World of Lovecraft” for Google Assistant
In both cases, the player controls the plot of the audio play with his voice. But despite the modern capabilities of information platforms to understand the meaning of what is said, both games use this function to understand simple expressions - yes/no, left/right, open/pass_by, etc...
It is not surprising that Amazon is ready to pay up to $50 to application developers for its voice console, because if there is no content, then all smart gadgets with the same type of purchase or search function (which they initially are, depending on the type of manufacturer) will not be able to take over such invaluable time that the consumer is willing to devote to the product.
In the second part of the trilogy “Cyborgs, Will and Justice,” the developers promise to introduce emotional characters with whom it will be necessary to conduct a dialogue and be able to “agree” to advance through the game.
Nevertheless, a start has been made, and the general bar for all other market players has been raised. And we just have to be patient and wait for the release of new products.
