 Hi everyone, this is Chris Bayer. I am software architect at Minecraft AI. We've made some improvements to the software running on our mark 2 device, which is on the left, and we wanted to see how they compare to an Amazon Echo show, which is on the right. Hey, Minecraft. What time is it? It's currently 1.23. Alexa, what time is it? It's 1.23 p.m. Hey, Minecraft. What's the weather? It's currently clear sky and 46 degrees. Today's forecast is for a high of 47 and a low of 29. Alexa, what is the weather? The current weather is 45 degrees Fahrenheit with clear skies and sun. Throughout the day, you can expect more of the same with a high of 48 degrees and a low of 23 degrees. You'll notice a few differences in the temperatures here, but that is probably due to the difference in weather data providers. Hey, Minecraft. Tell me about Clockwork Angels. I'm checking Wikipedia for Clockwork Angels. Clockwork Angels is the 19th and final studio album by Canadian rock band Rush released on June 12, 2012 on Roadrunner Records. During the band's year-and-a-half break following its snakes and arrows tour, the group decided to write a new studio album. Alexa, tell me about Clockwork Angels. According to Wikipedia, Clockwork Angels is the 19th and final studio album by Canadian rock band Rush, released on June 12, 2012 on Roadrunner Records. During the band's year-and-a-half break following its snakes and arrows tour, the group decided to write a new studio album. The album was recorded in April 2010 at Blackbird Studio in Nashville, Tennessee, and from October to December 2011 at Revolution Recording in Toronto. Hey, Minecraft. What is 123 times 456? 123 times 456 is 56,088. Alexa, what is 123 times 456? 123 times 456 is 56,088. So those are just a few small examples. One thing you cannot see is that the Mark 2 is running its speech-to-text and text-to-speech translations on device, which means nothing I have said to it. We'll go out to the internet, which is great for privacy. On the other hand, everything I've said to the Alexa and probably everything I'm saying now is being piped up into their servers so they can help with their research. So luckily, I wasn't fighting with my wife right now or something. I hope you enjoyed this demonstration and they have more work to do, but I think we're closing the gap.
