Battle of the Best: Apple's Siri Vs. Microsoft's Cortana Vs. Google Now

Stone Temple Consulting Corporation compared and analyzed the best virtual mobile assistants to find which was better: Apple's Siri, Google Search (or Google Now), or Microsoft's Cortana. As all three services show brilliant and improving artificial intelligence system the future results may change- But now the Google Now topped the study to become the best among the best virtual mobile assistants (May be for Now!).

"As of October 4, Google Now has a clear lead in terms of the sheer volume of queries addressed, and more complete accuracy with its queries than either Siri or Cortana. All three parties will keep investing in this type of technology, but the cold hard facts are that Google is progressing the fastest on all fronts"


The study compared all three platforms through 3,086 queries, designed to trigger certain answers from the three artificial intelligences- referred it as "knowledge box" - asking questions like how many quarts are in a gallon?, Why are fire trucks red?, Why is the sky blue?, How old is the Colosseum and so on. 


According to the firm, Google Now returns twice as many results as Apple's Siri service, and three times compared to Cortana. The study revealed that Google Now could present more information, along with supplementary details and links to other topics. For example, if you ask Google how tall the Eiffel Tower is, you will learn the exact height and a little more about other tall skyscrapers. Siri on the other hand would send you directly to Wikipedia search. Sometimes it may even respond in a humorous manner. In regards to fun, Siri is a great service, but information-wise, Google Now takes it by more than twice fold. Cortana will gather information from different sources but it won't always answer correctly.

"This is clear evidence that Google is much further down the path with this type of work than either Apple or Cortana," Stone Temple's Eric Enge wrote.
