The service, named Sport Social, is to launch on August 10 for both Amazon’s Alexa and the Google Assistant, during the opening weekend of the Premier League season.

Users who wish to try the service can use the phrase “open Sport Social” to launch the tool, before choosing their favourite club.

Drivers here are Thailand and Việt Nam, he … [Read more...] about VN big market for German tool makers
