Initially the apps best connected to this type of service were the Chinese ones like WeChat but probably the usability spectrum will be expanded by the developers. The main features will be:
- consultation of the weather forecast;
- reproduction of multimedia services such as music and video;
- sending messages through the use of one voice;
- but above all full synchronization with the devices that are part of the Xiaomi home ecosystem (in this case, car ecosystem): imagine being like Tony Stark talking to Jarvis!
