This is the single smartphone assistant in the market currently which can get access to your both work and personal content in your work perimeter. BB assistant brilliantly concludes how to respond to you depending on your type of interaction with it for example if you used to type then it will silently respond, if you speak to it then it will speak back to you and if you trigger the Bluetooth then it would speak back with some additional context in account of its assumption about you that you might be having no access to the screen.
