Ever since the release of Google’s personal assistant, the company hasn’t stopped adding new features to it ever since. The idea behind it is to create a similar version of the well known “Siri” and “Alexa” by Apple and Amazon. It turned out to be a good one, expectedly, and we could already see the perfect results in Google’s smartphones – Pixel, Pixel XL and II. You can ask it questions, set up appointments, arrangements plans or even make calls all by using your voice. This feature is perfect if you are on-the-go or if you are driving and your attention should be focused on a more important thing than your phone.
The purpose, that hides behind its creation, is to create the largest and most responsive software and to outshine the competition. For now, I have to say that Google is doing their job alright.This smart voice-recognizing and communicative software is literally capable of everything. The idea that it could talk and be asked questions, combined with the fact that Google is the world’s biggest search engine, means that there is almost no chance that Google Assistant can’t answer your given question.
It takes seconds for the software to transcript your voice given command, search for the information and to present it at the best level to you as If you asked a talking encyclopedia.Instead of browsing through your phone and search for 5 different apps to do 5 different things, you can ask the assistant to do it, all by voice. You may be asking now yourself the question “What could it be so useful for?”, well, it could be used easily for numerous activities. In example, if you want to get directions and not waste 3 minutes to set the address on Google Maps, you can ask the Assistant to do it and it will most surely do it in seconds.
Or you may be listening to music and instead of browsing through your 550 songs to find the one you want to listen to you can again turn to the Assistant for help. Let’s now imagine a situation in which you are driving your car and receive a message. It’d be silly if you take your phone and answer it while simultaneously drive, right? I’m asking because, yeah, the Assistant could do that for you and save your life as well. You just have to ask it.
This software is already compatible with Android products, and the company soon released it on iOS versions. It works also with Google’s home products and watches, and they assure us that we’ll see it way more often in future, which I truly believe. In my opinion, their main idea is to make it compatible with any product, just like Google Chrome browser did for the last decade.
You can tell the assistant important information that you’d not want to forget, and if you somehow do forget it, you could later ask it to help you out. It stores this kind of information and will always be there for you because it stores the information inside, and contrary to a human, it does not have the ability to forget, unless you delete your search history and completely clean up the saved information.
From Google, they assure us that the loud-said information will be encrypted and anonymous, and no one but you and those around you will ever hear it.
The software is already on iTunes (iOS 9.3 or later)
