Google assistant can soon make calls on your behalf
On May 8th, 2018, Google held its annual developer’s conference.
In this conference, they announced a number of new consumer features that can help make people’s lives simpler.
They put special spotlight on their artificial intelligence smarts.
Many of their updates are practical, designed to ease the process of tasks such as making lists, composing emails, and navigating city streets. While many technological innovations have increased digital distractions in people’s lives, Google wants to use its new innovations to lessen digital distractions instead.
They said that they will roll out the new technology as an experiment in the coming weeks.
One of the biggest crowd-pleasers was an augmented reality feature on Google Maps.
This feature can directly help people walk in the direction they need to go.
It can use arrows and even a cartoon-like creature to guide people where to go.
These images appear on a camera view that shows the actual street in front of a person.
Some new features that are coming for Android phones are aimed at improving users’ digital well-being.
This includes a new “shush” mode, which automatically puts the phone into “do not disturb” mode when it is flipped face down on a table.
It also includes a “wind down” mode that fades the screen to gray at a designated time to help people disconnect before going to bed.
This can helpful when people have a difficult time going to sleep after looking at a bright screen.
The Google Assistant, which is Google’s digital concierge, will be getting new voices.
The Google Assistant will also now encourage politeness in children by thanking them when they say please.
The assistant may also soon be able to talk with ordinary people at businesses for certain tasks, such as restaurant reservations. However, this feature is still in development.
Google’s new features will hopefully be excellent additions to people’s digital experience, helping to both simplify and enhance their lives.
