This morning we announced a new strategic investment from Samsung Ventures, Intel Capital, and Telefónica Digital, that will enable us to collaborate on exciting initiatives in Anticipatory Computing. This investment will allow us to further align our vision with some of the largest players in each vertical where our technology platform can add value, including consumer electronics, telecommunications, and semiconductors.

As part of the partnership, Samsung will work with our technology to integrate new types of context-aware behavior across multiple devices, including smartphones, tablets and smart TVs. Similarly, Intel will explore ways to create new types of voice, touch, and gesture user interfaces with our Anticipatory Computing Engine. Telefónica plans to use our technology to enhance several product lines, including next-generation communications applications, in addition to advertising initiatives.

According to our CEO, Tim Tuttle, “In just a few years, we will live in a world where the connected devices all around us will know who we are, understand what we say, and be far more capable of interpreting our intentions and anticipating our needs. We are delighted that leading global companies like Samsung, Intel and Telefónica share this vision, and we are looking forward to working with them to create a new generation of intelligent applications and devices.”

Today’s announcement continues the momentum we’ve seen since our launch, and will enable our technology to continue to make an impact in the world of contextual computing.
