Robin vs. Siri: Android Gets Voice-Activated Mobile Assistant for Driving

  • Software start-up Magnifis has announced the release of Robin, a voice-activated mobile assistant for Android devices.
  • “Robin is like a mashup of Siri and Waze. It’s a voice-controlled mobile app designed for drivers to use in their cars. Like Waze, it’s motion-activated rather than button-activated, which is easier for complying with distracted driving laws and using on the road, and it can proactively warn you about upcoming traffic or speed traps,” details CNET.
  • However, the post suggests that Robin is not a Siri-killer just yet, as Siri has the ability to send “text messages and play music, making it a true voice-activated mobile assistant,” while Robin focuses mostly on driving-related tasks such as learning the driving schedules and habits of the user.
  • Robin is still in beta, and available for free at the Google Play store.
