Evi is a new alternative to Siri for iOS and Android devices that uses artificial intelligence to provide assistance.

Unlike a search engine, which simply looks for matching words and shows you a list of websites, Evi understands what you want to know and gives back exactly what you're after.

Need to know where the nearest bank is? Not a problem. Going out for dinner but can't decide where? She can help with that too. The more you ask, the more she will learn, and thus she is improving all the time.

Features:
• Voice or text input - Chat to Evi in plain English and she will understand
• Local information for UK and USA - Shopping, news, dining and more. Evi knows where you are and gives answers based on your location
• One tap words - Allowing you to build your question super-fast
• Built in browser - No need to swap to a different browser, view web links within Evi's app
• A learning and adapting intelligence - Rate Evi's answers to help her learn more about the world
• More than a search engine - Evi takes the searching out of search, able to review and compare nearly a billion facts from her database to give you exactly what you need

You can purchase Evi from the App Store for $0.99.

How quickly people forget that SIRI IS A BETA. I expect it will get much better in the gold release.

Is it tho? - January 26, 2012 at 7:44am

You continue to say Siri is a beta and yet Apples sales and marketing blurb pushes it as a full blown feature of the 4s! - you cant have it both ways!

Anyone want to hack this app to work with spire?

App has a nice interface, but I haven't been able to get it work. We brokez it. I'm hoping it has the ability to make calendar events...

I asked it if I wasted my money on it since it doesn't work, it's response," I am afraid so".

Is this using the Siri dictation system for speech-to-text translation and just parsing the resulting text or also handling the STT function?

That certainly looks much better than Siri. I tried to ask some of the same things to Siri and got no answer. Maybe Apple will pay attention and revamp Siri.
