Google Assistant is the great bet of the technological giant for the world of artificial intelligence. The how we relate to the technological products that surround us It is becoming very important for manufacturers -and it will be even more so in the very near future-, especially for those who handle a very important amount of data every day, such as Google and, to a lesser extent, Apple.
Today we have learned that Google Assistant will make the leap in not long (it will start this week for the US and will be extended to more countries in the coming months) to other smartphones. Thus ends the exclusivity that until now had the Google Pixel, the phone manufactured by the brand and that, along with Google Home, Allo and devices with Android Wear, had the first of this assistant.
Mobile phones with Android 7.0 Nougat and 6.0 Marshmallow you will start to enjoy Google Assistant, In addition to being included in others from the beginning, such as the recently presented LG G6, HTC 10, LG V20 or Samsung Galaxy S7 (so -we suppose- that it will also be included in the next Galaxy S8). From Google they highlight the usefulness of this assistant and how it can help us in many of the tasks and activities that we carry out on a daily basis.
This expansion of Google Assistant is a new challenge for Apple and Siri, which have been accused in recent times of remaining in a state of "stagnation" which is doing the Cupertino company a disservice against its more direct rivals. Tim Cook, Apple CEO, has expressed interest in augmented reality several times in recent months and artificial intelligence as a differentiator in the future, so the next iPhone is expected to be a qualitative leap forward in this regard as well.
