Samsung has launched Bixby Marketplace, which lets users add third-party “capsules” to their Bixby Assistant.
The Marketplace includes a variety of convenience-enhancing capsules such as Google Maps, Spotify, iHeartRadio, NPR, and Yelp, across categories such as Productivity, Communication, Travel and transportation, Food and drink, Local, Music and audio, Shopping, and Business and finance.
Installed capsules can be summoned by name to perform specific actions. Users can also customize Bixby with a “preferred capsule” for certain actions, so that “Get me a ride to San Francisco airport” will use the Lyft capsule, for example.
The Marketplace lets users search for capsules by category, keyword, or developer, and includes a curated section of staff picks.
