Examples of smartphone voice assistants include Apple’s Siri; ChatGPT Voice; Google Assistant, Gemini-based successor assistant experiences, and Gemini Live; Microsoft’s Copilot Voice; and Samsung’s Bixby. Smartphones are any voice handset with an advanced operating system (e.g., Android, BlackBerry, iOS, Windows Phone) and features/capabilities that resemble a PC.
