Just-Eat Agrees…Voice is it.

Voice is the future User Interface

According to Just-Eat’s Fernando Fanton, who was speaking to an audience at 4YFN, the start-up spin-off of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona… “one of the things we’re really excited about that we think will make a difference is voice interface.

After a month of developing a complex skill for my startup, I discovered pretty quickly that I was pushing the boundary of Alexa’s NLP, and I wasn’t even done yet.
