SEATTLE, Oct. 4, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Imagine trying to use a business app and wishing there was a feature like Siri that allowed a user to simply speak to or type for information and help. Today, AppSheet (https://www.appsheet.com/) makes that vision a reality with Smart Assistant, a new user interface that acts like a digital business assistant, enabling voice recognition and natural language processing for any app built on the AppSheet platform. Normally, a feature like this would take months to implement, requiring senior developer expertise and at least a six-figure investment. In contrast, Smart Assistant delivers a Siri-like experience that is customized to each app built with the AppSheet platform within minutes. Once enabled, app users can simply type or use voice commands to access data immediately, whether in an office or in the field.
Smart Assistant is a natural language interface that empowers app users to bypass an app's interface and directly query the underlying data. It understands the intent of the user's request and performs the actions requested. For example, searching for a specific sales order and updating that order or, in a hands-free environment, vocally updating a maintenance log while traveling to the next destination. By simply checking a box in the platform, app creators can activate Smart Assistant across all apps deployed for their business, which can be done at any point during or after app creation.
"Smart Assistant delivers a conversational experience to any app built on our platform. With it, users can directly access information using simple phrases rather than learning or navigating the app interface. We believe this kind of seamless interface will increase user adoption rates as users no longer have to adapt to technology—technology adapts to the user," said AppSheet CEO Praveen Seshadri. "Smart Assistant is the first of many AI-forward features we are incorporating into our platform to transform how app creators build apps and how their users interact with those apps."
With the launch of Smart Assistant, AppSheet continues to push the envelope on how to seamlessly integrate new, intelligent technology into its proprietary no-code app platform. Unlike code-driven platforms, the AppSheet platform is intent-driven, able to derive the intent of the app being built. As a result, models for rich AI features can be automatically created, making it much easier to integrate forward-looking technology. With the platform, creators can build robust apps and deliver rich user experiences—all without writing a single line of code.
AppSheet was recently named a leader among Mobile Low-Code Development Platforms for Business Developers by an independent research firm. In that survey, AppSheet received the highest score in the strategy category.
