Summary | Google's artificial intelligence assistant may not be perfect yet but it will become a part of all our lives. It may still struggle to understand the context of a question but the more people use it, the faster it will learn. It will be able to find you that one picture from your trip to Italy showing your mother without you having to attach keywords to all pictures in your photo album.

The former taks is free, the latter one costs a little extra. The butler takes a provision on services that require payment. He is however always very happy to perform his task - whether he gets paid or not. This is indicated by the obligatory smiley face attached to every message.

The image and pattern recognition software needed for such a service is within the realm of artificial intelligence.
