so today's video is sponsored by Samsung who reached out to us to showcase Bixby voice but is it really a smarter way to use your phone well we're gonna show you guys five things Bixby can do that you might not have expected starting with this one hi Bixby roll the intro okay so get this have you ever been like buried up to your chin in quicksand with an army of like fire ants marching towards your face and thought if only I could unlock my nearby phone in a hands-free manner and call for help yeah me neither but I can still think of plenty of situations where that could come in handy hi Bixby unlock the phone Linus rules asterisks now let's look at another way to execute simple voice queries this time instead of summoning Bixby using the wake-up phrase I'm just gonna hold down the no dates dedicated bixby button remind me to pick up milk when I leave work so I've saved the location of our office so Bixby knows to trigger the reminder when I pull out of the parking lot now check this one out when's my anniversary now obviously that is a personalized answer unique to me but that's information that's not listed publicly anywhere so where did it come from well Bixby can actually be configured to respond in a specific way to trigger phrases James apparently programmed a few in for me before the shoot so uh why don't we have a look here Who am I are you a fan thanks James okay so yeah I got it Bixby is great for playing with your kids or trolling your friends but getting back to productivity samsung doesn't exactly think of Bixby as a virtual agent but more of a voice interface and I think that's because you can actually do much more advanced things like this go to the home screen boom swipe right that one could come in handy clear all my notifications turned on the flashlight all right it's like talking a glitch from reboot take a selfie how do I look so those are pretty powerful moves but it gets even better you can perform similar actions inside of apps and even chain commands together like a macro so for example let's say I liked my phone's display to turn off after just a few seconds to save on battery life well that can be a real pain when I'm reading an article with the phone sitting on the table next to me by eating my breakfast or whatever open display settings and change the screen timeout to 10 minutes neato except that depending on how much of a power user I am that might have taken longer than just performing this action with my fingers so what's the point well this is where a little bit of customization of bixby takes it to another level using verbal shortcuts called quick commands hi Bixby reading mode okay I set it to 10 minutes right so faster voice commands are intended to help you use your phone differently like for fitness tracking inputting meals throughout the day pretty easy add a cup of coffee to my caffeine tracker or my wife's personal favorite measure my stress level I need it stay still and be quiet that's hard for me they're my stress levels green so thank you everybody for your concern but as I've said many times before I'm fine everything is fine it's all fine now Bixby is fully integrated with all the native Samsung Apps take a screenshot and email it to Luke but third-party apps are joining the roster all the time post my third last photo to Instagram with the caption hashtag party time cool huh so obviously big speaking here but she can actually see to open Bixby vision okay here you go so let's try our neighborhood friendly stormtrooper here okay so you can use it to shop for related items on Amazon or look at similar items on Pinterest some of these are very stormtrooper like how theirs are slightly less stormtrooper like so that's a glimpse at Bixby for now it's an intelligent interface between you and your phone but it's learning all the time so the more you use it the smarter it'll get you can get more info on Bixby and the devices that support her using the link in the video description so thanks for watching guys and big thanks to Samsung for sponsoring this video if it sucked you know what to do but if it was awesome get subscribed hit that like button or maybe check out the link to where to buy the stuff we featured in the video description also down there is our merch store which has cool shirts like this one as well as our community forum
