Against Amazon Echo, Microsoft will work with Intel to integrate Xiaona and AI technology

Beijing time on December 8th news, according to foreign media reports, it is reported that Microsoft is preparing to launch a feature called HomeHub for Windows 10, to strengthen competition with Google Home, Amazon Echo and other similar devices. Although this feature is not expected to be available until the end of next year, Microsoft is laying the hardware foundation for new Windows 10 devices in order to make them more like Echo or provide services like voice assistant Alexa.

Microsoft will work with Intel to allow device manufacturers to develop new Windows 10 hardware that will integrate the latest artificial intelligence technology with voice assistant Xiaona, far-field voice communication and voice wake-up.

Microsoft and its device partners have not announced any devices this week, but the company's move indicates that they are ready to compete with Amazon Alexa with Windows and Xiaona. "From a platform perspective, our goal is to create a platform that offers device manufacturers a variety of chip options, allowing them to choose the screen size, decide whether to support touch, whether to support stylus, etc." Microsoft Windows and devices Terry Myerson, the business director, said, "They can build the ideal equipment they want."

According to the news, the HomeHub feature allows device manufacturers to develop new hardware that responds to voice control and becomes a shared desktop for a home or a smart device control center at home. Microsoft has not publicly disclosed the HomeHub program, but the hardware plan announced today is the first step toward providing this capability to partners in the future, with the aim of countering Google and Amazon's artificial intelligence assistants.
