This feels like an invasion on home soil.
At it’s annual developer conference (Google I/O) which was held yesterday, Google announced that their AI assistant can be be downloaded on iOS.
Google Assistant will be rolled out as a separate iOS app. But the Assistant is not going to operate like it does on Android devices. Because of API restrictions, Google Assistant on iOS will only be able to do general stuff like send iMessages and play a songs.
You also can’t make Google Assistant the main assistant to be replace Siri.
Bummer.
It’s currently available in the App store if you want to try it. It’s launching in the US first but will probably catch up to other countries soon.
