Invisible but smart personal assistant

A new voice-activated mobile communications service has been endorsed by the Los Angeles County Bar Association.

Wildfire, an interactive "smart" technology, works like an invisible personal assistant. It places calls, takes messages, maintains a phone directory and even calls users to remind them of important dates and meetings. Using a state-of-the-art voice recognition system that sounds very human, Wildfire also can interrupt a call in progress and whisper that there is an incoming call.

Virtuosity, a Marina del Rey-based company, is the service provider of Wildfire Assistant in California. It can be reached at 310/574-0574.
