In the early days of iOS and Android, apps were highly fragmented, but since then, the ecosystem has become much more integrated. To improve navigability and convenience, developers are integrating deep linking into their apps, such as Android intents, iOS URLs, and Facebook App links, allowing users to work across apps, without needing to launch them separately. Voice is a powerful way to make the navigation process even more seamless, and integrating intelligent voice interfaces into your apps will be an essential part of participating in this increasingly connected mobile ecosystem.

Consumers want one universal interface that works across all devices, and voice is that interface because it allows people to get what they need from their connected home (or car or office) with a few simple voice commands. Voice interfaces allow people to interact with your app in the most intuitive way possible: with natural language. This not only improves the user experience and cultivates a closer connection between your app and the user but also breaks through the chaotic, crowded din of daily life in the digital age.

Speech recognition is one thing, but the understanding of speech required for AI is another. After you understand a user's request, you can either fulfill it in your app, such as call taxi or search for something, or send the request to some external service, such as a weather or news app. While not included in api.ai, developers can also integrate voice identification, user profiling, and much more to make their apps as smart and easy to use as possible.

Consumers are always pushing app developers to create intuitive experiences. They click away from confusing websites, order on-demand services to their doorsteps, and seek out products like smart watches that integrate technology more seamlessly into their lives. This trend is only going to continue, and developers will have to adapt to their users with natural interfaces.

Mobile Apps are here to streamline the way organisations run, using digital technologies to add value, help businesses grow, streamline business processes and maintain websites, applications, social media and mobile apps.
