Apple bought the Cue app. The service works in the manner of a Google Now assistant, collecting information from Facebook*, Google Calendar, Gmail and other things every day. The deal cost the Cupertinos, for a moment, $ 40 million. Analysts believe that such an acquisition will help teach the new "chips" of the Siri voice assistant and add informativeness to the notification center. The service itself will stop working in the near future. App users will receive compensation for subscribing to Cue services.
Previously, Cue was known as Greplin and provided the user with access to contextual notifications even before the advent of Siri and Google Now. In 2012, the company rebranded, changing its name and releasing an iOS personal assistant application. All your information, like a reserved flight ticket or a reserved table in a restaurant, turned into an agenda. Cue collated and indexed user contacts, files and mail, and then displayed the necessary and timely information.Perhaps Apple wants to implement something similar in its notification center, which has been noticeably transformed in iOS 7.
