History
Released on May 18, 2016, Google Assistant has served users for almost two years. It was once published as part of the unveiling of the Google Home smart speaker. Google CEO Sundar Pichai once explained that the assistant was designed in two-way conversations. It was an excellent experience which extends to different devices. Later, the leader of Google hired former Pixar animator Emma Coats to make Google Assistant be personalized.
Latest Update: Better Organized Settings Menu
Rather than keeping the settings all dumped into a single list, Google Assistant plans to add three categories to the settings menu：
· Customize your Assistant：General, Access your Assistant, Accessibility, Assistant devices, Languages, Assistant voice & sounds, Your information, At a Glance
· Get things done: Continued Conversation, Home & family, Notes & Lists, Reminders, Routines, Shortcuts
· Manage apps & services: Preferred apps & services and Your apps
This small change will make things look and feel more manageable.
