Deutsche Telemedien

DTM Deutsche Tele Medien GmbH has developed "The City Skills," a voice assistant application for smart speakers, in partnership with the German telephone directory, Das Telefonbuch. This service provides localized content for the twelve largest cities in Germany.

The application functions as a digital city guide, accessible through voice commands. It offers users various categories of information, including general city data, tips on local events, details about public authorities, and a search function for local companies. The business model appears to leverage the established directory services of Das Telefonbuch, extending its reach to the growing smart speaker market. Revenue is likely generated through featured listings or advertising placements within the company search function, targeting businesses that wish to reach consumers on voice-first platforms.
