Artificial Intelligence app specification is now the new trend among big tech companies. Whereas Apple's Siri and Google's Assistant compete in dominating the tech market, Samsung is working on the development of its first virtual assistant to join the race. Its upcoming flagship phone, "Samsung Galaxy S8", has raised expectations among consumers and tech community alike that it will feature this new AI assistant app that the Korean tech giant is currently working on.

As per Android Headline, Samsung was spotted filing for a trademark for "Bixby" which was described as a "computer application software for smartphones, mobile telephones, portable computers, and tablet computers. Namely, software used to operate voice recognition system."
Bixby is apparently an application that features a voice recognition and hands-free operation. These features incidentally resemble AI assistant programs like Siri, Corona, and Assistant. For tech savvies, this could possibly mean one thing. That is, Samsung is planning to incorporate Bixby on "Samsung Galaxy S8."
