Google Assistant is going to
be your new digital buddy that is made compatible with Android Marshmallow and
Nougat phones with Google Play Services. Google Assistant is full-on service
app that obeys to the user’s commands in a more smart way ranging from managing
their appointments to reminding them where they have parked their vehicle. You
may wonder that those services are what Google Now does render already. Indeed
it does but Google Assistant is designed to render the similar services and
even more with a more friendly conversational interface with enhancing
features.
As like Google Now, Google
Assistant performs web searching, scheduling tasks, setting reminders,
adjusting the volume and help accessing information from your Google Accounts.
So to render really enhanced services, Google Assistant brings users the
required information in a more accessible format. For instance if you ask
" what are the nearby departmental stores?" , Google Assistant
presents results briefly and precisely
like one-sentence answers rather than presenting you the entire Google
page with search results.
Google Assistant is said to
have a better artificial intelligence than not only Google Now , but also
Apple's Siri and Microsoft's Cortana can have a better rapport with you through
learning personal information about you like your date of birth , your favorite
color or your favorite dish and also remembers information from your previous
conversations with Google Assistant itself. So it is understood that, the more
you make use of Google Assistant, the more better with the Google Assistant
will get to know about you and render smart services to you.
Google Assistant does have
the great ability of reading text within the images which captured by camera
like signs, menu and others which can be translated into notes for future use
if needed. You can gain access to Google Assistant's voice command services by
just saying " Ok Google" that
brings you results regarding to whatever you ask for like the weather updates, cricket scores, latest
business news and everything. Beyond asking general questions, you can also
have extended services that Google Assistant will get into connection with the
apps and services that exist in your devices. By the way, it will help you
complete many tasks with voice commands itself. For instance , you can ask
Google Assistant to get you pictures in
gallery that are geotagged with people or any particular location by
saying" show me the photos clicked in
Malaysia". Likewise you can get emails regarding any specific
meetings or events and many other things.
If you are not in a
situation to use Google voice command like in places like library, you can
continue getting services through typing . You just need to hold down the home
button to trigger the Google Assistant and can start typing your needs.
Google Assistant is designed
to be more personalized as it will show how your day has been planned. By
accessing information from your calendar entries and to do list , Google
Assistant shows you what are all the
tasks you need to do like where you need to go and in what time and also how
can you get there. So before even you start your day, you can get to know
things by just saying “tell me about my day”.
With Google Assistant, not
only your personal / official needs are met but also your digital needs are
served as now you can troubleshoot your phone if something is not working. You
can troubleshoot things like problems with your phone's speakers, battery life
or Bluetooth settings and more. As of now this feature seems to be working with
Pixel 2 XL and it's likely to be available in more devices in the near future.
Google Assistant can be
preferred for not just information needs but also for our leisure needs. Google
is likely to bring in cool new 50 games and activities into Google Assistant
that is compatible with Android phones and now with iOS devices too. Sadly
Google Assistant seems to be not compatible with tablets at least for now.
