They already have left their original habitats of "intelligent speakers" providing easy access to music collections. The initiated a multitude of new devices and are already populating devices such as TV sets. Characteristic for the intelligent digital assistants is the formation of platforms around their core functionality. Thus, AIS capabilities of the assistants are used to offer new services and create new interfaces for business processes. There are positive network effects between the assistants and the services as well as within the services. Therefore, many companies see the need to get involved in the field of digital assistants but lack a framework to align their initiatives with their corporate strategies. In order to lay the foundation for a comprehensive method, we are therefore investigating intelligent digital assistants. Based on this analysis, we are developing a framework of strategic opportunities and challenges.
