Sundar Pichai kicked off Google I/O 2017 by announcing that as of this week, the number of active Android devices reached 2 Billion.ย (Android is like the iOS for people outside San Francisco)
The company announced a bunch of innovative new services, like Google Lens, a standalone VR headset for Daydream, and an old-school photo album which everyone in the audience received (really). They also launched a new version ofย Google Photosย with lots of cool new AI based features. The app's 500M monthly active users will be pleased.
The most exciting announcement has to be the new Google Assistant. Theย marquee feature of the Pixel phone is now available to everybody, including people with iPhone technology. It's like having a Google Home right in your pocket, for free.

We asked 34 customers what Viktor does for them. Not one said chatbot.

They kept using words like colleague, coworker, team member. One CEO called it the glue holding their e-commerce business together, which is a lot, but alsoโฆ you see why. It lives in Slack and plugs into 3,000+ tools, so instead of jumping between tabs, you just ask for the thing. Pull Stripe against HubSpot, check Sentry alerts, spin up a campaign brief, build a landing page, send a report upstairs. It all happens there.
It has already hit top 5 on Product Hunt with 130 comments, is SOC 2 certified, and your data does not train models.One user said it was the first time AI felt like a real coworker, which is either exciting or slightly concerning depending on your week.
