Google Assistant

Smart speaker brain

Google Assistant is a virtual assistant developed by Google, activated by voice command ("Hey Google" or "OK Google") or text input.

It answers questions, controls smart home devices, sets reminders, and performs tasks across phones, speakers, and other devices.

I asked Google Assistant to play some music.

The service competes with Amazon's Alexa and Apple's Siri.
