David Perlmutter, architectural team manager for Intel, said the company has partnered with Nuance voice recognition technology to bring Dragon Assistant software into ultrabook. The chip manufacturer's representative hopes that with touch support on Windows 8, voice recognition technology will help ultra-thin computer models compete with smartphones and tablets.

According to Information Week, Intel introduced a model of Intel's ultrabook to buy eyeglasses on Amazon and play music. "The assistant" asked users if they wanted to share the link found on Amazon on Twitter.

Unlike Apple's Siri or Google Voice, David Perlmutter claims Intel's "smart assistant" is the available microprocessor and software platform, not based on electronic cloud services.
