Google presented a ton of interesting and useful news at the I / O conference this year as well. If you've watched the whole video (or live), you already know that Google has invested a lot in AI. This is to be expected, but, interestingly, they integrated the AI ​​into the daily activities of the users. So the user can now use AI quite normally as if interacting with a real person.

I will briefly describe a few interesting things that Google presented here. At the end is a 14-minute video in which you can hear and see how it all works.

You can order an assistant to schedule a haircut for you on Saturday between 10 and 13 o'clock. The assistant will call your salon and talk to the staff like a real person. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed how much Google has perfected it and how fluent and accurate the conversation is.

4. Continuous conversation with Google Now

Speaking of the assistant, the new update will bring a continuous conversation. You will no longer have to say "Ok, Google" every time you want to issue a command. It will be enough to start the assistant once, and later you can just continue talking. Of course, the assistant will distinguish your voice from the surrounding noise, so it will not be activated by accident.
