was just reading about VIV.  Looks like Alexa may finally have some good competition.

OK, I took a look.  Did you click on this link in above article?
DON'T MISS: So long, Siri: How to get Amazon Alexa on your iPhone

It is about a new week-old app called Lexi. I read it and went to website for Lexi.  It can only do what Roger app can do now with Alexa and costs $5.  Roger app is free.  As far as I can tell, not competitive with Roger at the moment.

Siri is quite poor in practical tasks, and Apple is stupid enough to leave it unchanged for years. Instead, Google may have chance in such a technical product.
