Sydney\u00a0 – April 30, 2013 <\/b>\u2013 Sherpa<\/a>, the number one virtual personal assistant for the Spanish speaking world, is now available in beta for the Australian market. Starting today, Android smartphone users will be able to enjoy the platform\u2019s many features \u2013 including searching for information, completing transactions, managing schedules and operating the device itself.<\/p>\n

Sherpa arrives to the Australian market with a broader knowledge base and more proactive and predictive capabilities than current market offerings and includes transactional capabilities that are unique in the virtual personal assistant category. Furthermore, Sherpa has a lively and fun \u201cpersonality\u201d that makes it easy for consumers to integrate the platform into their digital lives \u2013 whether they are updating social networks, requesting and playing music, navigating to desired destinations or interacting with a broad set of informational sources. Sherpa\u2019s combined capabilities give users the impression that there is a team of personal assistants, or \u201cSherpas,\u201d at the ready to help them accomplish tasks and save time.<\/p>\n

\u201cSherpa has been designed to be the interface to our digital lives,\u201d commented Xabier Uribe-Etxebarria, founder and CEO of Sherpa. \u201cThe perfect personal assistant has vast knowledge, can predict your needs and learns about you over time, almost as if by magic. With Sherpa, we are building a platform that delivers unlimited possibilities to make people\u2019s lives easier. Sherpa\u2019s capabilities will only continue to expand; we have developed less than 0.01 percent of our vision and what our amazing technology is capable of.\u201d<\/p>\n

Technology Overview:<\/b><\/p>\n

Sherpa is the result of 10 years of research and development by Uribe-Etxebarria in advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) and semantics technologies. Sherpa users can interact with the application through instructions given via voice, type or touch for a richer user experience.\u00a0 Sherpa has been designed to be truly multilingual; its unprecedented technology uses an intermediate language of meanings, making it scalable for any language in the world.<\/p>\n

Sherpa\u2019s capabilities were recently analysed in a Gartner research note titled \u201cSherpa: The End of Search as You Know It for CRM<\/a>,\u201d by Johan Jacobs, research director.<\/p>\n

Sherpa is able to deliver highly accurate results in response to consumer queries and requests due to its sophisticated Natural Language Processing and advanced semantic technology. Sherpa relies on five levels of linguistic analysis which include morphological, syntactic semantic, pragmatic and functional analysis. Building on Sherpa\u2019s strong linguistic foundation, the platform algorithms further enhance the user experience, interactivity and capabilities.<\/p>\n

Today, the beta version of Sherpa incorporates the following technology capabilities to deliver a highly functional personal assistant platform:\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
