This morning we were at the presentation of the agreement between Samsung and sherpa to bring the new version of your personal assistant to the brand new Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. A new version that incorporates many new features and that can be used from the new flagship of the Korean manufacturer. An effort by Samsung to bring the best local software, as with Sherpa we are talking about a Spanish start up with a great future ahead.
Sherpa Next is the new version and will arrive pre-installed on the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Edge S6, as well as future launches in the range. A predictive search engine that, more than an assistant, becomes a personal assistant in an exclusive version for Samsung adapted to the curved screen of the new Galaxy S6 Edge. It will be available in Galaxy Apps for the next few weeks.
An alliance with a future
Sherpa, the Spanish start up, has teamed up with Samsung to offer this new version that comes with a new, quite innovative design and new algorithms that allow the user to have a personal assistant who "guesses" what he needs and provides him with different offers and services.
On the other hand, Samsung shows its decision to support very promising new start-ups such as Sherpa and Spanish talent to improve the software offered from its new Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. An application that will arrive pre-installed from the phone and that will become part of those apps that Samsung leaves the user to decide whether to uninstall it.
An app that comes with the premise of enriching the user experience of those who agree to the purchase of one of the phones that has been the most talked about in recent months. According to Xabi Uribe-Etxebarria, founder of Sherpa, the application will appear soon in the Play Store and they intend to compete against others such as Google Now.
What improvements does Sherpa Next bring?
The new app incorporates an even more powerful artificial intelligence system than previous versions. It is based on the idea of an ideal personal assistant, which will search and filter the most relevant information depending on the time of day and adapted to each of the users without even having to search.
Ultimately, the information reaches the user without having to search for it, uses a format with obvious improvements in the design and the cards is the selected format to have all the data available to the user. Owners of a Galaxy S6 and S6 edge will have a special version dedicated with unique functionalities.
Sherpa Next news
- New card-based design: a new visual aspect that improves the user experience thanks to the new visual format that allows information to be better understood. One of the examples comes from the soccer cards that have a field background and the shields of each team; however, theaters will come with movie footage. Each deck of cards can be opened to read all the cards in the same category.
- New predictive algorithm- An innovative artificial intelligence algorithm that will help the user in their daily life. It is as if you have a personal assistant that orders the cards by relevance depending on what interests the user. A Saturday night will give more relevance to leisure activities, stories to read or the bag. An algorithm that the user will learn as he uses the application more and that will improve the information given over time.
- New cards: more cards are added for reading, ephemeris, events, cinemas, places of interest, improved sports, etc.
- Exclusive version: Sherpa has developed an exclusive version for the S6 edge that allows you to see notifications on the edge from the side even when the terminal is in sleep mode.
A whole new version that hopefully soon we can try from the Play Store.
