As with everything Bixby, however, it feels like a budget version of what already exists on the market. The approach is based on Amazon’s Alexa skills program – where third parties can write apps that interact with its digital assistant But the Bixby marketplace has just over 50 “capsules” available at launch compared to over 90,000 in the Alexa marketplace.
