Google Assistant Will Even Check in on Flights

Personal digital assistant Google Assistant with its artificial intelligence – also known as “OK Google” – is now integrated into about one billion devices worldwide, as Google announced at the CES International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

Google Assistant is battling other “smart” virtual assistants (Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri, Microsoft Cortana) for international domination.

Among other things, it has been installed on mobile phones running Android and iOS, on the Google Home Hub, on “smart” speakers such as Google Home and other “smart” devices (TVs, headphones, watches, etc.).

Google Assistant is now available in 30 languages and 80 countries, in only eight languages and 14 countries in 2017. Globally, according to Google, active users of the digital assistant have quadrupled in one year.

Google Assistant is now integrated into Google Maps for both Android and iOS, and can now be used with SMS, WhatsApp, Messenger, Hangouts, Viber, Telegram, and Android Messages.

The latest version of the assistant, thanks to the new Interpreter Mode feature that will be available in a few weeks, will be able to work as an interpreter for dozens of foreign languages, providing real-time voice and written translation, helping the user to navigate and engage in a foreign country.

Google Assistant will soon be checking flights and storing the boarding pass. Google is also working with hotel chains and travel agencies (Choice, AccorHotels, InterContinental, Expedia, Travelclick, etc.) so that the user can book a room via Google Assistant – all with a voice command.
