Google Assistant began life in the Google Allo app before spreading to Google’s Pixel phones, Android Wear watches, and other Android smartphones. Now Google is taking steps to help spread Assistant even farther.
Google today launched the Google Assistant SDK in a developer preview. With this SDK, developers can begin building hardware prototypes and include the Google Assistant with them. In a video demo, Google shows off a DIY mocktails mixer robot with the Google Assistant built-in.
We’ll just have to wait and see what kind of devices come to market with Assistant built-in, and since today is the first day that the Assistant SDK preview is available, it might be a little bit before we start seeing Assistant-equipped devices launch to the public. Still, this is exciting news, as it means that the number of devices that offer Google’s voice assistant could greatly expand, giving users more ways to integrate it into their lives.
Do you use Google Assistant? If so, which devices do you use it on?
