[Crowdability]( [feature] A Smart Profit Opportunity with 99% Accuracy Matthew Milner Investment bank Morgan Stanley recently did something very peculiar: It told Google to give away one of its smart speakers to everyone in America â for free. The cost of this giveaway? About $3 billion. For the last hundred years, CEOs from top companies have relied on Morgan Stanley not just for access to capital, but for sound strategic advice. So why in the world would it tell Google to give away billions of dollars? Speaking Is Easier than Typing Before I explain, let me back up for a minute⦠Let me tell you what âsmartâ speakers are. Then Iâll reveal why Morgan Stanley would advise Google to give away $3 billion of them. A smart speaker is a device that can listen to your voice and interpret your commands. For example, instead of typing out a grocery list, cuing up a song on Spotify, or fumbling for a light switch, you could tell your smart speaker to do it â and it will take care of your requests instantly: âBuy some laundry detergent, toothpaste, and a box of Triscuits.â âPlay the Rolling Stones.â âTurn on the kitchen lights.â The Competition Heats Up According to research company Canalys, smart speakers have become the fastest-growing consumer technology in recent history. By the end of this year, itâs estimated that 70% of U.S. households will own one. Amazon Echo and Google Home are the two leaders in this space. But Google is currently getting its butt kicked by Amazon. Thatâs why Morgan Stanley is recommending that Google give away its devices for free. You see, whoever âwinsâ this battle will earn the lionâs share of the advertising and e-commerce revenue these devices generate⦠And those revenues could add up to hundreds of billions of dollars. Donât Touch a Thing But hereâs the thing⦠Now that weâve gotten used to controlling our devices with our voice, we want to control all of our electronics this way â TV sets, kitchen appliances, you name it. Furthermore, because of Covid-19, now we donât want to touch anything. Thatâs why consumer interest in voice-activated devices is skyrocketing⦠And that explains the mission of a tech startup⦠Introducing: SapientX SapientX is a software company focusing on the market for voice assistants. It doesnât make its own smart speakers or any hardware⦠Instead, it uses its proprietary natural language understanding (NLU) software to add voice assistants to existing devices. For example, itâs working on a voice assistant for transportation companies including Mitsubishi and Volvo. When this tech is released, youâll be able to tell your car to do things like turn up the air conditioning, move your seat forward, or check traffic. SapientX is also working with companies like Samsung and GE, so you can use your voice to control your TV, your home appliances, and maybe even your elevator ride. The Market for Voice Solutions According to research companies Statista and Arizton, the market for voice solutions will be worth $32 billion by 2025. Google and Amazonâs products arenât relevant for most of this market. Those companies just want you to use their device so youâll buy things. But SapientX could potentially become a major player here: - Its accuracy for âconversational understandingâ has been measured at 99%. According to ZDnet, Siriâs accuracy is just 75%, and Alexaâs is 73%.
- It can run without the Internet. This means it can keep user data safe.
- And its software can speak 40 languages and dialects. Traction SapientX has already attracted customers like Mitsubishi, Yamaha, and Samsung, and itâs in discussions with more than 100 others. Furthermore, Covid-19 has presented it with opportunities to bring its technology to new places â from Zoom conference calls, to robots, to vending machines. The company has already attracted millions of dollars in funding. But now, to grow more quickly, itâs raising capital from investors like you. In this new round, itâs raising up to about $4 million, and itâs raised about $1.6 million of it already. The minimum investment is $100. Should you invest? Letâs take a look at some of the pros and cons. The Pros and Cons of an Investment On the âproâ side: - This is a huge, fast-growing market.
- Itâs a hot sector for M&A: 16 voice-tech startups were recently acquired.
- The team includes rocket scientists from NASA and Blue Origin, and engineers whoâve won the prestigious Loebner Prize for conversational AI. But on the âconâ side⦠With a market this big, competitors will surely emerge. Thatâs why Iâm not recommending that you run out and blindly invest in SapientX⦠This is a risky venture, and it requires substantial investment research to understand how things might play out. But if you believe people want to control their devices with their voice, itâs worth a look!
