This startup, borne from a failed $500 million Silicon Valley darling, believes it has the cure for what’s ailing voice assistants

Voice assistants are integrating into more and more places; the smart speaker market in particular is expected to grow 60% from 2016 to 2017, according to Parks Associates research analyst Dina Abdelrazik. So let’s say one day, voice tech starts to feel normal and become superior to touch — what happens if some apps and devices only support one assistant, while others only work with another? If Amazon's Alexa were to stay dominant, would that let Amazon dictate what devices you buy — and where you shop? Is recreating the type of platform war that led to Android and iOS dominating mobile devices the best thing for voice tech?
