The company in 2016 bought Viv, which was pitched as a revolutionary “global brain” that would be able to place your pizza orders, manage your schedule and make dinner reservations without ever having to speak to a person. (It also happens to be made by the same people who created Siri.) The move was hailed by industry insiders, who said Viv had shown off technology in demos that seemed very promising.
