Jumping in with a small research just minutes before replying to this topic. If dev is serious with this idea --and I have to agree that it is a great feature, not many crypto payment service has this feature--, it probably will not be that difficult that it requires one whole year to develop.

Integrating voice assistant to our phone means we need to co-exist with siri or google assistant, or bixby if we count samsung user. I'm not sure about siri, but android allows us to replace google assistant with other voice assistant of our preference, like... Amazon's Alexa.

Now, Amazon have this project called VII (that's V-I-I, not roman numeral for 7) that basically integrates dozen of voice assistant under Alexa.

As Elitium already have this concept in mind (and roadmap) I would assume they have the general idea of what to do, how to build the app, etc., they can ride VII to achieve this roadmap easier.

Another benefit, that I can imagine, of integrating with Amazon will be an easier access to e-commerce as they're working with the giant e-commerce themselves. Thus, that bag for wivey's birthday is more approachable

Do you know what they mean by "voice agents" when referring to combining these systematic entries? Would it categorize recognized voices based on the household using it?

There isn't any rush to develop VERA as it needs to be structured and presented properly. AI is based off a lot of different algo, esp machine learning. It's like watching a child grow up- you can't rush him to get a job and help pay the bills Wink

Alexa and Siri have made incredible developments within the past few years. However, with VERA, it will help support the same use-case Alexa makes as a virtual assistant. "Hey
VERA, book my next ticket to Dubai!"

There is further information on VERA in a medium blog we released last year: https://medium.com/elitium/https-medium-com-elitium-the-future-of-luxury-97af750f7d58

I can't wait to update you all further with the future developments. The V2 launch of our dashboard will be a game changer to the Elitium ecosystem.

I have to say that I am not sure, but basing my guess from the qyoted text below, the first impression I got when I read about VII was that Amazon (through Alexa program) hosts multiple voice assistant that works upon specific name trigger. The way I perceive them is roughly, if I may use a poor example, like how android can host multiple keyboard at once and we can switch between keyboards.

Building voice-enabled devices that promote choice and flexibility through multiple, simultaneous wake words

So, in my mind, it'll be like:

*in a morning*
*Alexa wakes you up via alarm and lamp brightness*
User: Alexa, what events do I have today?
Device (through Alexa): Good morning, Darkness, wivey's birthday is today, you have a video conference in five minutes and a meeting with Elitium at 13.00 in Dubai
User: ok then. Vera, buy something for my wife. Portal, set a video conference in five minutes.
Device (through Vera): looking for some bags and shoes.
*user interact with Vera for 5 mins, looking for shoes*
Device (through Portal): This is Portal, your video conference is ready.
User: Vera, buy that green shoes and Portal, connect me to the conference room.
*after video conference*
User: Portal, book my ticket to Dubai
Device (through Portal): that's look like something Vera can help with.
Device (through Vera): hi, Vera here, how can I help?
