purposes, for office work purpose so that everyone can use
this technology very conveniently and efficiently. Also, in
future we can develop a voice assistant like Jarvis in the
'iron man' movie which would be able to do any task
without using Any hardware device.
CONCLUSION
Voice assistants nowadays are easily available in every
device but the use of it is less as it has become of no use
because of it just being able to do work up to certain level as
they cannot do it at that depth. So, they can be developed in
a way that they would be able to do work at certain level
that the needy ones can really use it in the efficient way such
as Sending Email, booking cabs, train and bus tickets, also it
could quickly check certain information what user wants to
know in emergency and do general works at certain
associations and industries. So, we have successfully
developed some of the facilities due to which voice assistant
can really be helpful to everyone. Also, it can be developed
in online and offline mode with all the in-depth
