About the BlackBerry Assistant

You can use the BlackBerry Assistant to perform various personal and work tasks, and interact with your device using
natural language.
The BlackBerry Assistant can make multitasking easier. Instead of navigating to a specific app, you can simply open the
BlackBerry Assistant and speak your requests. The BlackBerry Assistant responds to help you complete the task or
interaction quickly.
If you're in a meeting and need to keep things quiet, you can also type your requests in the BlackBerry Assistant using
natural language. When you type your requests, the BlackBerry Assistant stays silent and responds with only text on the
screen.
When you speak your requests through a Bluetooth enabled device such as a headset, the BlackBerry Assistant responds
with more detailed information and instructions to help you complete tasks without looking at the screen.
