Blackberry gets its own Personal Assistant : Blackberry Assistant


Apple has Siri, Google has Google Now, Windows Phone has Cortana and now last addition into the Personal Assistant is Blackberry which is Blackberry Assistant. The Canadian smartphone giant yesterday revealed the Blackberry Assistant on its forthcoming device, Passport which is expected to release this fall.


This assistant is a part of Blackberry OS 10.3 and was revealed on the company’s official blog. Although the details were not quite explained but it was evident that this assistant can be used to compose mail, search web or create a reminder with your voice.


Blackberry said that the more you use it the better it gets, which was also said by Microsoft for Cortana. BlackBerry Assistant also takes advantage of the Passport's physical keyboard, letting you perform actions by typing directly from the home screen.

Although Blackberry is behind its peers in the race to a more personal smartphone but can the Blackberry Assistant smooth its way. Well, it’s a question that will take some time to clear out.
