Hi Siri! Meet Cluzee!

Android-based Cluzee is the alternative for Apple's popular feature which is Siri. This app was developed by Tronton and it is described as a "talking intelligent personal digital assistant."

Cluzee is supposed to be designed to answer simple questions through real and helpful responses. This app is free with a download size of 9.42 MB and could be run on Android 2.1 OS and above. Based on the Cluzee video, the app is designed to answer simple questions like finding the nearest pizza joint or check the weather forecast for the following days. Cluzee also has the ability to read e-mails and text messages out loud, converts voice to text and search for amazing deals that is convenient for the user's needs. The app could also provide up-to-date information like traffic conditions and reminders for users like leaving early in order to make appointments. Based on its app description, Cluzee seems to be more ambitious than Apple's Siri because it aims to link in health records, travel data, and preferred deals for users.

Tronton started developing this app about 6 months ago even before Apple's Siri was released. Ashish Patwa, CEO of Tronton mentioned in his statement that people nowadays are drowning because of "information overload". Patawa then further described the usefulness of Cluzee stating that "We don't need all of the information available, all of the time. We just need the right information at the right time, which Cluzee intelligently provides, making us more productive. Technology created the problem, but we're using smarter technology to solve it."

In this review published in Cnet.com, it described Cluzee as a useful app especially when it comes to logging and tracking down information for the user. The color and lay-out of Cluezee is also one of its major selling points for users. One thing that could be added to Cluezee to make it more attractive for users is a simple widget button that lets users add this app in their home screen. The review also pointed out that Cluezee could be considered as a great alternative for Siri though there are still some functions that should be altered in order to be at the same level with Apple's Siri.
