There has been lot of talk about “Assistant” that will be one of the major new feature of upcoming iPhone 5. The Assistant is based on Siri/Nuance voice recognition technology and few days back 9to5mac detailed how the new feature will work. Today, based on that information and other rumors MacRumors has heard, they posted an artist rendition of Assistant interface. Arnold Kim wrote:

We've created this artist rendition (above) of what the Assistant interface looks like based on sources with knowledge of the feature. After a long press on the home button, the screen fades and slides up, just like with the multitasking interface. Revealed is a silver icon with an animated orbiting purple flare which indicates a ready state. From what we've been told, this image is a close representation of the actual Assistant interface.

Based on this knowledge, we contracted Jan-Michael Cart to put together a video representation of the Assistant workflow.

The video below shows two possible ways the new Assistant feature can be used. It is a very interesting take on the new Assistant feature check it out.
