You can now request your Smartphone for past, present or future: Android Siri Assistant Iris gets integrated with activity-tracker Friday

Dexetra, the company behind Siri, as Android app Iris and activity tracking app Friday, brings together the two applications work together seamlessly on Android devices. Like Siri run for its money, Iris, users can now search the archive with the data generated by the AP Friday, after the recent updates to these mobile applications rolled over the Thanksgiving holiday here in the United States

For those unfamiliar with IRIS is one of the many "personal assistant" type applications for Android-space, which has exploded since the launch of Apple's Siri. Using voice control, Iris allows you to perform common tasks such as create reminders, send texts, music playback, to ask for movie reviews and more. Can also serve to answer the other questions through its integration ChaCha. (Which caused a little controversy in the past, we should be noted.)

Meanwhile Friday, launched earlier this year, is taking the opposite side of the IRIS. Where one can speak with Iris for future events (there's a sushi restaurant? what is playing movies?), you can request Friday for things that have already happened. The app saves the history of your communications, including phone calls, texts, emails and pictures, as well as changes in the status of the phone and the activities carried out by third parties services like Facebook, Foursquare and Twitter. This means that you can specify Friday questions about things in the past, such as "who called me Tuesday afternoon?" or "where was I when the latter spoke with Jim?" for example.

However, up to now, the two applications are separate legal entities. If you want to look back in time, you used Friday. To ask questions or to talk with a virtual assistant, you need IRIS. But with the update, you no longer have to think about the suite, which contains the necessary information. Friday just might work in the background, create a personal journal of your life, and you can query against him with the aid of the IRIS.

Dexetra CEO Narayan Babu says that from Friday the launch in April, over 100 million documents have been created by AP, and to date, Iris millions of users have requested more than 250 million issues.

The company is now beta testing more "applets" – custom, context-oriented mini-programs that run on Friday. For example an applet called "Trails" allows users to create travel journal where all your activities (photos, registered, tweets, etc.) are plotted on the map. New applets will include battery for monitor and alternative Dialer. With the battery monitor Friday may warn the user when the phone is low on juice and there is a charger nearby, while the Dialer app will not show past conversations or Favorites, but these numbers are most likely to call, based on past behavior and current context. Briefly, these applications make your aware of its surroundings and its own functions in a way that really was not possible before, then tie these data, as well as the interface of the virtual assistant.

Dexetra is not the only company to think about how our personal devices can help us record of the activities of our lives. However, recently revealed Apple patent indicates that it could also be looking at integrating some sort of event-tracking on OS level in the future.

Android users can download the updated Google app Iris game here and Google play here Friday.
