Siri

October 22nd, 2008

Siri might just turn out to be a perfectly timed AI startup. Via hchen1.

Siri is a new Silicon Valley start-up that attempts to change to the way people use the internet. I joined Siri in Sept. 2008, but I was unable to talk about it until this week. Siri (previously known as stealth-company.com) is an SRI spin-off company armed with $8.5M VC funding. The company inherits  technology innovations resulted from many years of AI research (e.g., the DARPA-funded CALO project).

I am quite excited by a recent sneak preview.
