I remember what Siri was before Apple bought it, which is why I am very interested in Viv. I think it will be interesting to see which platform it will first run on or whether a Big Co will buy it like Apple did Siri. 

What if Viv was first released in a dedicated product like the Amazon Echo? I can't imagine the Echo was hard to manufacture, its secret sauce is the software. 

BTW as I recall, Siri was much more functional before it was bought by Apple.
