voice assistant catfight is reaching its apex. One Hong Kong-based company -- Vicartek -- is looking to streamline the process with a bluetooth headset that is natively compatible with Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant, and Cortana, all accessible via a tap or two on the device's touch panel, without the need for the user to pull out their phone. VicartekThe headset, named Envoy, is actually the first bluetooth headset that works with the Google Assistant and Alexa without requiring the user to unlock the phone first. According to Vicartek's founder Mark Peng, tapping on the Envoy once activates Alexa, while two taps calls out Siri or Google Assistant. Of course, whether the Envoy works as advertised remains to be seen.
