Samsung has announced that it was opening the Samsung Bixby Developer Studio, an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), to developers. It made the announcement at the Samsung Developer Conference 2018 in San Francisco, US.
The company said to evolve Bixby into Samsung’s intelligence platform, it had laid the groundwork to build a scalable AI platform, “making it simpler & easier for developers to create user experiences powered by Bixby.”
It offers access to the same development tools Samsung’s internal developers use to create Bixby Capsules, which is what developers build to add features to Bixby. It’s all part of Samsung’s unique approach to AI, with the goal of building a scalable, open AI platform where developers and service providers can access tools to bring Bixby to more people and devices around the world. –Kyunghak Hyun, Product Manager of the AI Product Management Group at Samsung.
Hyun added the company’s aim was to offer developers a robust, scalable & open AI platform that made it easy for them to launch & evolve “the amazing experiences they create for our users.”
As Samsung’s ecosystem of devices continues to grow, it creates more points of contact not just for Bixby, but for a growing number of third-party services as well. Developers have more ways to reach users, and users get more opportunities to make the most of them.”
