This week in the history of technology: birth of Google Assistant

The wizard was also one of Google's best supported hardware and software products. There are now several smart speakers and smart screens that can run the wizard (coming from both Google and third-party hardware manufacturers), which also works on any Android or iOS device. Google has added features to many of its apps, such as Google Maps, and also works with Android Auto, Android TV and Wear OS devices. At this point, the wizard is on almost every hardware you can think of.

It would be much too long to describe the many new tips acquired in recent years, but suffice to say that Google adds more features. One of the most impressive new features is the performer mode, which allows the assistant to act as an intermediary between two people speaking a different language. There is also the scary but intriguing Google Duplex feature, which allows the wizard to call a restaurant and book a table for you. It can also automatically register you in a flight and give you personalized recipe recommendations. Hell, he can even start your instant pot.

Not to mention the improvements that Google announced a few weeks ago at the I / O Developers Conference. Among these, let's mention a much faster assistant that takes up less space on your phone, a definite advantage for low-end devices. It will also be more personalized than ever, an appropriate update given that the company originally introduced the wizard as "your own personal Google".

Of course, you can not mention the Google wizard without recognizing that this implies that you are giving even more personal information to Google. As people finally start backing out and want more privacy, Google makes managing the mine of information that it contains about you easier. However, even if privacy concerns are top of mind, do not expect Google to give up the priority given to the Assistant. In just a few years, it has become one of the defining products of society. If you're still not convinced, remember the huge showcase that the company has built on CES parking for the past two years. Everything revolves around the wizard, and Google does not want you to forget it.
