“Voice First” strategies have started to make a lot of noise this year, championing a more human and natural kind of interaction between people and machines, now made possible by technology.

Above all, a kind of interaction that opens a new era in which we humans will relate to machines without needing the mouse, the keyboard or the finger, but rather through voice, image, gestures or movement. Interacting with machines by modulating our voice or moving our hands or body is apparently easier and more comfortable for users; it is more intuitive and reduces the mediation between people and machines.

But it also presents new challenges for designers, who have to learn to create experiences using a language, a technology and a way of working that did not exist until now, and that can be very beneficial for both consumers and brands.
