About the Google Assistant
Last year, Google launched the Google Assistant officially in Belgium. It’s the smart, virtual assistant of Google that can answer questions of all kinds for you and can perform tasks – all simply by you giving the Assistant voice commands in spoken language. The Google Assistant is not only available on smartphones and smart speakers like the Google Home or Google Nest. It’s also there on smartwatches, Android TV, cars, tv’s and headphones.
In all Europe and increasingly also in Belgium, companies are creating voice bots and virtual assistants in Google Assistant to enhance their customer or employee experience.
