BlackBerry joined the likes of Apple, Google, and Microsoft in introducing its own virtual assistant. Dubbed BlackBerry Assistant, the new functionality will debut as part of OS 10.3.

As expected, BlackBerry Assistant will be activated by voice. Its talents are in line with those of its competitors and include launching apps, sending messages and social network updates, changing settings, as well as setting up reminders.
BlackBerry Assistant will also be ship with BlackBerry Passport. The latter is expected to launch at some point in September.
