Japanese company Line, a subsidiary of South Korean internet search company Naver, has announced its cloud-based virtual assistant Asia at the Mobile World Congress. Line says Asia's interface with people is like a human's because it can recognise voice, faces, actions and more. Line hopes that Asia (short for cloud virtual assistant) will become Clova's leading artificial intelligence platform and this summer plans to release both a Asia mobile phone app and Wave, a smart-speaker powered by Asia that is similar to the Amazon Echo and Google Home devices.
