Sherpa announced it was able to raise US$1.6 million during a fundraising round for the firm. The company is the top virtual personal assistant installed in Android powered mobile devices.
One of the projects in the pipeline for Sherpa is the launch of the beta version for Spanish speaking countries by the end of 2012, which in turn made the virtual assistant the number one app in just three months.
The Android app was launched back in October 2012 and has been downloaded 400,000 in Google Play in both Spain and Latin America. The programming utilizes accurate patented natural language information to gather information, transact business over the Web as well as manage devices. It is also the first voice activated virtual personal assistant that is able to transact online completely, such as making travel arrangements and transferring of funds. This can be completed with existing arrangements with partners like Paypal and other sites.
