Google demoes the next-generation of Assistant at I/O 2019

Google previewed the next-generation of its Assistant personal helper at I/O 2019.

The new Assistant is much more responsive than it predecessor and can handle more complex queries.

In addition, using a new feature called ‘Continued Conversation,’ the Google employee demoing the new Assistant was able to ask multiple things of Assistant without saying “Hey Google” more than once.

In another part of the demo, Assistant was able to differentiate between when the user was dictating part of an email and asking it to complete an action.

Google will launch the next version of Assistant on the new Pixel phones it plans to launch later this year.

With faster responses using new on-device processing, a better understanding of you and your world, and more help in the car, the Google Assistant is continuing to get better at helping you get things done → https://t.co/ueiS9n0wfJ #io19 pic.twitter.com/Rm2VjQTXW9

Alongside these changes, Google has built a new Driving Mode.

Driving Mode will launch this summer on any Android phone with access to Assistant. Google also announced that it’s bringing Assistant to Waze.

More to come…
