Matic is — for most intents and purposes — yet another robot vacuum looking to make a name in a very crowded space.

Voice Assistants
Siri needs to get a lot smarter, and quickly Apple's voice assistant is being left in the dust by its competitorsHello from CES in Las Vegas! During that trip, I used Siri more than I have in a long time — and it was an absolutely dreadful experience. It’s mostly okay, but this journey drove it home for me: Apple is falling significantly behind in the voice assistant race. Siri was one of the first voice assistants to be available on smartphones. Google’s voice assistant has its stuff buttoned up tight, too.
