4.3 Market Feasibility

Consumer trends indicate an increasing preference for

voice-activated services. The integration of voice
assistants in smartphones, smart speakers, and other
devices demonstrates a substantial market opportunity.
While competition exists, the uniqueness of the proposed
voice assistant, coupled with its personalized features,
can differentiate it in the market. Continuous updates and
