Summary | Google's artificial intelligence assistant is getting better every day. It is available on all Android smartphones and on the home speaker. It can find out web search queries, translate phrases, and help book a flight by keeping one updated about changing flight fares. Sometimes one however has to adjust one's syntax so that the AI assistant will correctly decode one's request.
