Google announced new technology at its yearly developers conference last week. Many of these announcements involve updates to existing tech. These updates may make life a little easier.

Gmail Smart Reply

Google is adding a feature to Gmail to make it easier for the user to answer emails. Smart Reply teaches how you write and suggests three short replies to emails you receive. You can choose one and send it or add more words to the Smart Reply. Smart Reply will be offered in English and will expand to Spanish later this year.

Google Assistant new features

For example, Google Assistant is learning to read. Users will be able to type questions to Google Assistant on their phones in addition to using voice commands. History will be added to Google Assistant, so users can see what they have asked in the past. More languages are coming to Google Assistant on Android. Google Assistant soon will be available in Japanese, Portuguese, French and German.

Google Home

Google is making its Google Home smart speaker more useful. Google Home works with Google Assistant and will be able to let you know about information, such as flight delays and traffic problems that may delay your travels. Google Home will recognize voices. For example, if you tell it, “call Mom”, it will call your mother and not your partner’s or roommate’s mother. Google Home calls will be free to mobile phones.
