Voice-activated software helpers
Digital assistants are software programs that respond to voice commands or text input to perform tasks—setting reminders, answering questions, controlling smart devices, or searching the internet.
Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant are the most widely known.
The term encompasses both voice-activated systems and text-based AI chatbots: I asked my digital assistant to play some music.
