Google has kicked off the developer conference I / O, and the company just announced the Siri competitor, “Google Assistant“. The Google Assistant will be a standalone app and will be available on the iPhone in the future. Google will already offer the app from today in the US.

While the Google Assistant is firmly integrated into the system on Android phones, iOS users could only access Google Messenger Allo on the function. In contrast, the newly launched standalone app offers much more flexible and easier options. so the wizard can be started directly via an associated widget.
The possibility of using the Google Assistant via text input is also available. In this way, it is convenient to use the Google Assistance where you do not really want to “talk to your smartphone.” Similarly, the company has announced extensive feature enhancements, including an integrated image recognition, based on which the assistant can also launch various actions.
Some things your Assistant can help with:
– Make quick phone calls (e.g. “Call Mom.”)
– Send text messages (e.g. “Text my bestie.”)
– Send emails (e.g. “Email your boss the latest TPS report.”)
– Set reminders (e.g. “Remind me to buy a birthday gift for Sarah.”)
– Set calendar events (e.g. “Set a calendar event for dinner with Charlie tomorrow from 7-9.”)
– Play music (e.g. “Play Jazz music on Youtube.”)
– Navigate to places (e.g. “Get me directions home.”)
– Ask it anything (e.g. “Will I need an umbrella today?”)
