Evie<\/a>\u201d is another recent examples of this.<\/p>\nAs an owner of an online business, you need to be aware of what \u201cEvie\u201d is, how it works, and what kind of an impact it could have on your business.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What is \u201cEvie\u201d?<\/h2>\n
\u201cEvie\u201d is basically a search engine without a separate third-party app for searching. It redesigns Android homescreen to integrate web search, in-app data, and other related information, all in one place to offer a more well-rounded search experience to Android users.<\/p>\n
In many ways, it is like Apple\u2019s iOS Spotlight.<\/p>\n
David Zhao, the CEO of Evie and the former Amazon engineer, says that Evie is not directly competing with Google the search engine. He insists that they just want to redesign the Android home screen and fill up the fragmented gaps that Android users experience while searching for information and content.<\/p>\n
According to Zhao:<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe the core solution to this app proliferation and fragmentation problem lies in understanding the relationships between apps, services, and content on mobile. We want to provide people with a direct path to what they want, when and where they want it\u200a \u2014\u200a without toggling between multiple apps.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nHere is a quick explainer video<\/em> of Evie.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
