It seems that the era of digital assistants, including voice assistants, is now coming. There are more different systems of this kind, and even those companies that have not thought about it before are testing their own projects.

Sony's digital assistant, in particular, can simultaneously help the gamer through the game, answer phone calls and perform other actions in the real world. Some corporation patents describe how the voice assistant performs microtransactions during the game - at the request of the user, of course.
