## Summary

Biren Gandhi, Co-Founder and CEO of Speak To IoT, explains how his software platform enables voice control for IoT devices by normalizing interfaces across Alexa, Google Assistant, and Samsung Bixby. He details use cases in enterprise settings, such as Cisco and Juniper Mist integrations for population density tracking and asset location, which eliminate the need for dedicated mobile apps. Gandhi argues that voice is the 'new touch' (or 'no touch'), reducing cognitive load for users and minimizing IT overhead for manufacturers by abstracting away the complexity of multiple voice assistant APIs.
