"What the fuck was that ??" were the exact words I spoke out loud after I saw this video.

Is this for real, no editing, no time compression ?

Does it really understand those questions or is it preprogrammed ?

Looks kind of incredible to be true. If it is, though, I'm in awe.

It worked for me with "what's the capital of the country where the Brandenburg Gate is", and "what's the population of the country with the Eiffel Tower", then "what's the current time there?"

Similarly, the restaurant and hotel demos from the other promo video worked fine. Also with follow-up questions like "and what about ones with free wifi?"

Does it hold context for subsequent questions? For example can you ask "what city is the Brandenburg Gate in?", "which country is that in?", "what is its population?"

Yes it does. That's one of the main features.

I am impressed with the speed. But it says internal demo for good reasons I am assuming :)
