RIP in peace Bixby.

Bixby never had a chance.

Google Lens will be worth it to get Wifi passwords alone.

I love how that got a huge reaction.

 

[greycolumbus]

Goggles is back, baby!

 

[Kthulhu]

I love how that got a huge reaction.

It can get really irritating if it's a complex password.

 

[alternade]

RIP in peace Bixby.

THIS. Why did they even bother? They had to have known that this was coming.

 

[Monumma]

What is this, an nvidia conference?

 

[Kthulhu]

THIS. Why did they even bother? They had to have known that this was coming.

Because companies will throw money at really stupid shit for the sake of their brand.

Hopefully Samsung at least has the decency to give us native Bixby button remapping in the future.

 

[BahamutPT]

Google Lens seems awesome. Basically AR Assistant.

 

[Kinitari]

Lens is really congruent with the upcoming AR/MR pushes we'll see this year and next, I've wanted a flower recognizer for a while

 

[akileese]

Not Hotdog

Exactly what I was thinking!

 

[Zombie James]

This is Skynet.

I wish I was good at AI programming.

 

[Kthulhu]

I wish I was good at AI programming.

Same. I suck at coding in general.

Google is one of those companies I WISHED I was smart enough to work at because they are pushing technology in such an interesting direction.

 

[TwoDurans]

Anyone else's phone just wake up during this video?

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

OI that set off my Google Home -_-

 

[Skinpop]

it's so incredibly creepy how they adress the device "google"

 

[greycolumbus]

Damn no love for this?

I'm an average programmer I think but AI just goes over my head.

Google is one of those companies I WISHED I was smart enough to work at because they are pushing technology in such an interesting direction.

Same. They have amazing people working there for sure.

Think it makes sense insofar as "Google..." has been a verb for years. I feel a lot more natural saying, "Hey Google, what's the temperature," than "Bixby," "Cortana," or even Siri. Pretending the search engine/algorithm that you're talking to is a person seems a lot more weird than recognizing it's a machine.

TYPING IN ASSISTANT

 

[jokkir]

Wow typing ! looolllll

 

[Monumma]

"you can now type into google"

revolutionary.

this is basically subliminal marketing.
just let people give it their own name.
not that i'd ever invite google to my home like that.

No one tell anyone about Allo.

 

[DouglasteR]

A full fledge VR headset please.

 

[jiggles]

Short gig

 

[Toki767]

You can tell this is what they wanted the endgame for Google Glass to be.

It's definitely intentional from a business perspective, but no less marketing than Bixby, Cortana, Siri, or the handful of others. But I've been saying "let me check google.." Or "google that..." for 15 years.

 

[Kensation]

RIP in peace Siri

 

[Somnid]

This looks like what Firefly would be like if Fire Phone wasn't an amazing flop.

 

[LostMyNarbles]

Definitely giving the iOS app a try.

 

[Zombie James]

Bring it to OSX, please.

 

[Chris R]

So its on iPhone, but not older Android devices... got it

 

[Skinpop]

sure, still a bit more sinister considering it's the actual name of the company.

 

[snacknuts]

I didn't know Google Assistant wasn't already on iOS.

 

[TwoDurans]

"Siri, download Google Assistant." "I'm sorry. I can't do that, Dave."

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

The Android O Beta page is up https://www.google.com/android/beta?u=0

 

[Mr. RPG]

Google Assistant should be on Chrome. I'm surprised this hasn't happened yet.

 

[kiguel182]

Bye Siri. Assuming this can set up alarms lol that's what I use Siri for since she sucks at everything else.

Also, Portuguese! Hopefully it works well with EU Portuguese...

 

[Baroquemantic]

Better than last year so far.

 

[D4Danger]

this guy reminds me of the guy who does focus groups in silicon valley

 

[BahamutPT]

Damn you Google. What about European Portuguese? Always left for last

 

[Kthulhu]

So its on iPhone, but not older Android devices... got it

Way harder to develop for hundreds of different phones than a handful of phones.

 

[Mr. RPG]

Definitely giving the iOS app a try.

It's pointless unless you can use it hands-free.

 

[sqwarlock]

Okay, Samsung, please let me change Bixby's button to something else on my new S8 now. Nobody will ever use it with these changes to Assistant. Just give it up and let us use that button for anything else.

*looks at my poor old Nexus 5*

It's okay buddy, you're still a great phone.

 

[Kensation]

Panera guy sounds creepy

 

[kaskade]

So the iPhone rumors were true. Seems like Google is trying to build everything into assistant with the translate and the google lens. I'd rather one app that 15 separate ones.
