Using Google Assistant — First Hand Experience
Google Assistant is recognized as an artificial-intelligence powered virtual technology that was developed and implemented by Google Inc. Google Assistant, specifically, is a voice-controlled smart technology developed with the purpose of offering personal assistance through voice controls. The virtual assistant system was developed with the objective of providing support to consumers that rely on smart devices. Currently, one can find Google Assistant on both Android and iOS systems. As of 2017, Google Assistant was currently used in more than 400 million devices worldwide.
My first experience with this technology was a surprising, remarkable, and unforgettable experience. In fact, it’s an experience worth a five-star rating. Introduced in 2016, I was a bit slow in adopting the system for personal usage until mid-2017 when I got a new Smartphone that was complemented by this technology and many others that are linked to new Smartphone models. In my case, I found Google Assistant useful mainly because of the following features and functions that were facilitated by the technology. With Google Assistant I learnt that I could control my device through voice control, access information from online sources, make bookings, search information like motivation quotes sometimes when you are feeling low.
Besides, the virtual assistant technology enabled me to get weather updates, trending and breaking news, control the music and videos on my device, and run timers/ reminders in the same device. Other fascinating capabilities linked to the virtual assistant include the opening of apps and the ability to read notifications for me. Notifications were read clearly, and it was as if I was reading them personally without making errors or glitching noises that would affect the quality. Overall, my first experience and those that followed were remarkable and am always glad when using this technology. I found the system quite useful and as the name suggests, Google Assistant provides assistance in major areas, thereby making the user’s experience with various devices much better.
Concerning the pros and cons of the subject technology, my experienced revealed the following advantages and disadvantages. The advantages that I identified from the technology include the ability to track down details, the ability to provide answers, and the involvement of artificial intelligence, thereby enabling the system to understand and function with the same intelligence and excellence that would be linked to a human being.
Generally, the Google Assistant technology is important for enhancing autonomy. On the other hand, the technology is linked to certain disadvantages such as the security risks linked to the voice command feature, the recognition of voices in the background, and when on microphone the device fails to recognize the speaker, thereby accepting instructions from everyone including children.
As stated above, some of the practical use of Google Assistant include the retrieval of summary activities, retrieving news and weather updates, checking traffic updates, checking nearly restaurant, gyms, dance classes, offering navigation services, answering questions, and setting reminders on the phone and other similar devices. Based on the features and functions identified above, I would definitely recommend the artificial intelligence for anyone who would be experiencing challenges operating a device that already has this feature.
In addition, it is recommendable because it makes the user’s experience better, fun, instructive, and educative, which makes it easier to use the device in future. In conclusion, if the disadvantages addressed above would be addressed, the overall consumers’ experience would be much better than what we have today. It is highly recommendable that Google addressed the issues above to ensure that the users’ experience is improved.
