What is Google Assistant?

With Google Assistant, your home life becomes much easier and convenient. From doing something as simple as turning on lights to more complex tasks such as playing music for you, Google’s new innovation can perform a myriad of tasks to make your home more homely.

In short, google assistant is a voice assistant. It originally came about from Google’s, now defunct project, Google Now. This project was an expansion on the existing “Okay Google” voice controls while being designed to be more personal for the user. “How was it personal”, you may ask. Well, Google Now knew you. It knew where your office was, it knew where your vacations were, it knew what you liked, and by knowing things like these, it was able to tailor the information you received to be more relevant and beneficial to you. Google Assistant carries the legacy of Google Now, combining complex voice control with user personalization in order to create an experience of ease and comfort for the user, much like a real-life assistant.

Google Assistant activates upon hearing the words “Okay Google” or “Hey, Google”. Once it’s awake, its multiple functions, among them: controlling your smart devices, accessing your calendar, controlling your music etc., become available to you. However, it does not end there. Google Assistant was designed to take your requests conversationally, meaning you do not need to keep repeating the phrases mentioned above in order to keep using Google Assistant. Having different users like family members or roommates or officemates is also not a problem as Google Assistant can recognize the voices of different people and even personalize its use for each voice it registers. Google Assistant is a smart form of voice control that can understand the context and circumstances which most benefit the user and in turn adjust its behavior accordingly.

A well-managed house becomes a comfortable home for the people living there. Google Assistant assures to help you achieve this with the power of your own voice.
