Sonos may just be less dependent on 3rd-party helpers for voice control. The firm has purchased a Paris startup, Snips. The firm helps to create “customized voice experiences” via its AI voice tools and platform. No, Sonos is not aiming to take on Google Assistant or Alexa—rather, the firm claimed to the media that this is to “include to [Sonos] users’ ease of control and use” for music. The private, speedy on-device voice processing by Snips is developed to sit next to standard assistants, recommending that Sonos might reserve the usual voice control for essential functions such as playback.

Snips is a 50-person, small outfit, and that was seen in the speed and size of the contract. Sonos purchased the firm for $37.5 Million, and it silently locked the deal earlier this month.
