Google Assistant
Google Assistant is evolving into your Google
Assistant. A flurry of upgrades is coming to the
AI helper, including the ability to choose from six
different voices and, in the future, even a John
Legend voice pack. New features let Assistant
respond to natural conversations and parse complex
multi-step queries. On phones, the app will be able
to show you an overview snapshot of your day.
Smaller upgrades are also on the way, and third-party
smart devices with screens will start rolling out with
Assistant in July. For further details, go to page 28.Google Duplex
