    Google then moved onto Duplex. Pichai said it will soon do stuff for you online, like book rental cars and get movie tickets. All you have to do is ask Google, and it will do the rest -- even fill out web form fields. Google said the current version of Duplex is now available in 44 states and that it will share more details about Duplex coming to the web later this year.

  • Next-generation Google Assistant

    Next-generation Google Assistant

    Google showed off the next version of Google Assistant. 

    One of the hurdles that Google faces with Assistant is the quantity of data needed to process voice commands. This can cause a lag. Pichai said Google has been able to shrink this down now, and that it can be housed on a device, rather than in the cloud, resulting in lower latency. 

    Google therefore demoed how its new Assistant can respond to requests in lightning fast time -- and without saying "OK Google" every time. The demo consisted of various voice-controlled scenarios, from opening apps, to getting information, all as one continuous conversation.

    Moving on, Google said that, with the next version of Android, it will begin distributing some security updates to Android phones directly through its Google Play Store. That way, security updates will be pushed out to devices faster. This effort, called Project Mainline, will be part of Android Q.
