Bear, a clone of Google Now, comes to iOS

Teddy

After a first leak that Google Now was preparing his arrival at iOS, we have not received any news about it for a few weeks. It seems that Google y Apple their pluses and minuses are brought with an application that could be a tough rival for Crab. Meanwhile, Osito, a service with a family aesthetic, has sneaked into iOS and your proposal, for now, seems very compelling. Let's take a closer look at this new assistant.

You know the saying, 'a troubled river, fishermen gain' and Teddy has shown his good morning fishing and getting ahead of google while the Mountain Viewers make up their minds and convince Apple what to put your assistant, Google Now, on iTunes is a good opportunity for both parties. The person in charge of Osito is Bill Ferrel, a developer who was paid by Google for a while, but who now works on his own and what he offers us, in both visual and functional terms, is very similar to the concepts of the search engine.

The application integrates with other services such as gmail, the calendar and location systems and he learns from our routines over time. At first we will hardly notice that we have it installed, but little by little Bear will assist us in certain tasks always with a clear premise, not interacting with the user if he does not have something interesting to contribute. Therefore, although the application uses the push notifications, is intended to be as non-intrusive as possible and not burden us with information that is not relevant to us.

Little bear catches

But without a doubt, the most interesting thing about Teddy is that it opens up your code to other developers who can integrate it into the operation of their applications in such a way that combined operations can occur. How it collects The Verge, if implemented, it would be possible to do check in en foursquare automatically when we arrive in a new city or automate the sending of a message so that our partner knows that we have arrived at work and that they can locate us there, etc.

You can download Teddy from this link in the App Store.
