Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant—virtual assistants have transformed how we interact with technology and what we expect from it. Today’s most popular assistants offer a multimodal experience — the ability to interact on multiple channels — and are a major leap from the voice-only assistants that dominated the market just a few years ago. Unsurprisingly, sales of these multimodal assistants grew 30% in 2020, while voice-only assistants saw a 3% decline.
