Surrey gets help from Watson for the city’s app

DateThursday, July 23, 2015 at 8:59PM

Surrey, British Columbia enlists supercomputer Watson for the city’s app. Software developer Purple Forge made My Surrey, which Fast Company calls the “Siri for cities.” The app is capable of answering spoken questions asked in natural language. For example, you can ask it why your trash wasn’t picked up this morning or how many dogs you can keep on your property. It also has a FAQ section and access to other municipal services. The app works for iOS and Android devices. The local government hopes it’ll help lessen calls made to city services. 

According to Purple Forge other Canadian municipalities are also interested in employing Watson. Who knows you might get your own version of this voice assistant pretty soon?
