The Google I/O took place today and Google introduced its own voice-based digital assistant: Google Assistant.
The assistant is an ambient experience that will work seamlessly across devices and contexts. So you can summon Google’s help no matter where you are or what the context. It builds on all our years of investment in deeply understanding users’ questions.
The assistant is conversational—an ongoing two-way dialogue between you and Google that understands your world and helps you get things done. It makes it easy to buy movie tickets while on the go, to find that perfect restaurant for your family to grab a quick bite before the movie starts, and then help you navigate to the theater. It’s a Google for you, by you.
“Our ability to do conversational understanding is far ahead of what other assistants can do,” said Google CEO Sundar Pichai.
Google Assistant is Google’s answer to Apple’s Siri.
