According to Samsung, Bixby will be "fundamentally different" from assistants
existing virtual ones, namely that it will be able to executeeverything that
user can do with touch controlsin the
apps.
Thanks to this deep integration into the apps, when a user
invokes the voice assistant at any time in an app, the latter can
understand the context and current state of the app, provided
of course it supports Bixby.
The user has the choiceuse touch controls or
voiceto ask Bixby to perform any action in
an app. And if any information is incomplete, Bixby will ask the user

his task.
The next Galaxy S8 will have aphysical button dedicated to Bixby

Initially, Bixby will only be available for around ten apps
preinstalled on the Galaxy S8, but it will open to third-party apps in
a near future. Samsung also plans to gradually bring its assistant
