Siri's only on iOS, while Google Assistant is available for Android and iOS devices. (Note the Assistant is limited in what it can do on iOS.). Bixby Voice on the Galaxy S8 is designed to help you interact with and search your phone using voice rather than taps and typing on-screen.

All three assistants can do the basics just fine, including checking weather and time, setting alarms and reminders, or turning on Bluetooth, Want to snap some photos?

In most other situations, Siri is second and Bixby Voice is slowest. I also found that using, "Hi, Bixby" to trigger the device rather than holding down the button leads to a longer listen time, so it can pick up extra dialogue from others nearby. Bixby Voice can collect photos from the camera roll and add them to a folder. Voice assistants have traditionally struggled to understand more than just a simple request.

Say, "Open Instagram and post my latest photo with a caption 'Fun day,'" and Bixby will automate the entire process of uploading an image and entering the caption, It pauses for you to review before posting, Google Assistant can only open the app when you say, "Open Instagram." If you try asking it iphone case korean to do the same thing as Bixby Voice, it returns Google search results, Siri will also get greater third-party app support once iOS 11 is officially released and third-party actions are coming soon to Assistant..
Siri and Google Assistant also have integrations with third-party apps such as WhatsApp, Lyft and OpenTable. Tell them to "Send a WhatsApp message to Charlie" and they understand. (Yes, Bixby does this too.). Bixby Voice lets you shorten lengthy or more difficult commands into bite-size sentences. You can either do this when you make voice queries by tapping the "Add custom command" option, or through Bixby Home.

One suggestion is, "OK Google, cheer me up," which will show corgi videos on YouTube.
