Google Assistant now works with 5, 000 devices, will add more soon. Here is how it works:
Google Assistant is Google's voice - controlled smart assistant. It's was originally an upgrade or extension of Google Now. Originally, Google Now smartly pulled out relevant information for you: it knew where you work, and it knew your meeting locations and travel plans, the sports teams you liked, and what interested you so that Now could present you with personal information that mattered. Google has long killed the Google Now brand, but Assistant very much lives in the same space, but fuses these personalized elements with a wide - range of voice control.
Google assistant works just like Apple's Siri on an iPhone or iPad, but reaching far beyond that. Google Assistant will also work out when you're talking to it versus other people in the room. Multiple Actions is also a new capability that enables you to ask for multiple things at the same time. Also, a new Pretty Please mode for Google Assistant will help ensure everyone in your household is saying "please" and "thank you". When enabled, it responds positively when you say either of those phrases.
Pretty Please can be enabled for specific members of your household, so you can encourage your kids to be polite, or you can just play a trick on your spouse as they're setting a timer for dinner without their manners.
Google has said that six new voices are coming to Google Assistant during 2018. One of the voices is singer - songwriter John Legend.
