Tmall Genie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tmall Genie (Chinese: 天猫精灵, pinyin: Tiān māo jīng líng) is a smart speaker developed by Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba Group, using the intelligent personal assistant service AliGenie.[1] Introduced in July 2017, the device consists of a cylindrical body with omni-directional speakers and an LED light ring at the bottom of the device.[2] As with other smart speakers, the Genie supports web searches, music streaming, home automation devices, and placing orders for products from Tmall.[3] Voice interaction with the device is currently limited to Mandarin,[4] but plans to extend voice recognition to include Sichuanese, Cantonese, and eventually all major Chinese dialects were announced in March 2019 when Alibaba allocated 100 million yuan (US$15 million) for research and development.[5][6]
