- The Starbucks mobile app has a new virtual assistant that can take your coffee order. You can already pre-order coffee through the app, but now you can literally just talk to your phone and tell it what you want. There’s also an Alexa skill in development so you can order something at home and wait for you at your local Starbucks. Hey Siri, I need Java! [Starbucks]
