Google Assistant

Google CEO Sundar Pichai hailed the move from a mobile-first computing world to an AI-first computing world, envisioning the new Google Assistant as seamless, conversational way for users to interact with Google wherever they are. Google's knowledge graph, and advances in AI, including image recognition, and machine translation, have helped make Google smarter than ever.

Assistant has already debuted on Allo, and they'll be a big part of Google's new phones...

Pixel phones

Rick Osterloh, head of Google's new hardware division, unveiled the Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones. "We're building hardware with the Google Assistant at its core," says Osterloh. "This is a natural step, and we're in it for the long run," he says, adding that we'll hear more from his team over the months and years ahead.

"What brings Pixel to life his how the hardware and software comes together."

Pixel is the first phone with the Google Assistant built in — Assistant now lives behind a long press of the home button. Its new storage capabilities, using the cloud, will ensure you "never run out of space" for photos, according to Osterloh.
