Re: Voice assistants means platform focus

I don't speak for others but for my own POV we're not talking about
established voice assistants like the ones you mention, no. My own
interest - and I'm being led by Brian Subirana - is on talking to/about
products ('cos GS1 is about commerce). Things like wake words that can
be referenced - Brain might be able to jump in and say more.

But to come to your point - I'd certainly be interested in voice UI in
general, not specifically voice assistants.
