You can stand in front of a structure, for example, and ask who designed it to get a quick answer. Or you can ask for a trailer for a movie,\u00a0for example. In most respects, and it\u2019s still very early during the Google I\/O keynote so we aren\u2019t certain just yet, Google Assistant sounds like a new name for the entire \u201cOK Google\u201d assistant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUsers are already looking to Google to help them get things done, but we believe we are just getting started. We believe this is a long journey,\u201d Pichai said. He said Google wants to learn more about context, so if you ask it \u201cWhat\u2019s playing tonight?\u201d It should be able to recommend movies you like and continue asking you question \u2013 do you want to see kid-friendly movies? Do you want to buy tickets? And, if you require, it should let you buy those tickets through an engaging conversation with Google. That\u2019s how it differs a bit from the regular \u201cOK Google\u201d we already know and love.<\/p>\n<p>No word yet on how soon these features are going to hit all Android devices, but this sounds very, very compelling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[metaslider id=3040] Google\u2019s CEO Sundar Pichai took the stage at Google I\/O 2016 on Wednesday and quickly introduced a new product called \u201cGoogle Assistant.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3039,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3038","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-software","et-has-post-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kmtech.blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3038","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kmtech.blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kmtech.blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmtech.blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmtech.blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3038"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kmtech.blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3038\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmtech.blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kmtech.blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmtech.blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3038"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmtech.blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
