The Google Assistant debuts new features

We have just received it in Spain and Google is already announcing new features. And it seems that they have invested a lot of effort in creating an intelligent and capable assistant to help the user in many functions. So many and so diverse that it can be overwhelming. Therefore, to keep up with what's trending and the different features it can make available to us, the Google Assistant now has new sections and features

A more capable assistant

From now on, the Google Assistant will have two new sections so that the user is aware of everything new. It is called What”™s Trending or What is happening, and it collects updated information from the different applications with which you can interact. Something like a feed with trends. And the same goes for What”™s New, where you can stay up to date with the latest news and updates. Something that developers can already take advantage of to show their content and new applications. All this accompanied by the auto-complete function in the search engine.

The Google Assistant now goes deeper into the different applications of the terminal. This makes you more capable, and allows you to better organize your functions.That is why it now has subcategories in some of its tools For example, in the Food section, it is now possible to find subcategories such as Food orders or View menus .

It is also a smarter assistant to be able to find applications and services without expressly requesting them For example, if we ask to “schedule an appointment to repair my bike”, it is not necessary to mention the notes or calendar app. The Google Assistant understands this and carries it out. In addition, it now has special labels when familiar applications are displayed, and it interacts in more languages: Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and English.

More possibilities

The Google Assistant has not only been completed when it comes to showing its possibilities, it has also improved the way you interact with them. From now on, thanks to new development tools created for application developers, users can interact with the assistant through smart speakersFor example, it is possible to carry out transactions or send orders to the mobile through Google Home.

The Google Assistant may also now remember certain data and information, as well as preferences from different apps to create a more seamless experience staff. Even apps and services tapped through this wizard gracefully say goodbye once the user says “cancel”.

Another interesting point is that the Google Assistant will ask the user if she wants to log in or register in an application or service only when it is strictly necessary. Thus, it is possible to consult information without having to go through the process.

More options on the way

Google continues to develop the potential of its assistant. And it does so by helping application developers. They will be able to create new reminders and alerts to inform, if the user wishes, of everything that is new on a daily basis.

They will also have the option of launching asynchronous notifications for the user Notices that can be broadcast live directly through a smart speaker connected. Last but not least, developers will get analytics on their app usage through the Google Assistant. Useful questions to improve your applications and to know what functions are used or how they are used.
