Google Assistant goes head to head with Siri in the latest MKBHD video

22 October 2016
With the Pixel, Google is also entering the world of virtual assistants. While Google Now was a clever search engine, Google Assistant is Google’s first real shot at a virtual engine along the same lines as Siri and Cortana.

    Why compare it to the 2nd best? Why not put it head to head with Cortana?

      Well done
      Signed,
      Google

        I find the test to be Siri friendly !!! Productivity-oriented conversations and its response may be appropriate use case for testing the Personal Assistance than just asking Search Questions and expecting the Assistance to translate the search results in voice is NOT what Google Assistance is made of. SIRI is way behind Google Assistance if we look at the Keynote presentation during Pixel launch!

                I agree with someone here. Google Now/Google Assistant should have a shorter, catchier name, but Siri really is horrible. Not the name, but the service itself. Cortana is more superior than Google Now/Google Assistant and Siri, and I don't even like Microsoft.

                  Google really should consider about changing the name
                  Google Assistant is too long, and sound not really friendly
                  maybe a little more humanoid name, look at siri and cortana

                          Google assistant won hand down beside siri sound like a robot and seem so dumb (searching ...)

                            "Overall though, they came out super close in this particular comparison. That’s been it. Thanks for reading, and I’ll see you in the next article. Peace."

                            I see what you did there :P

                              "You are a sandwich" - This was really funny.

                                I like how the author concludes the article the MKBHD style :P

                                    Siri did surprisingly well, but google was hands down better. And technologically it just seems to have so much more potential for improvement at its doorstep. It's got over the hurdles of having conversations and sounding less robotic, and they have a huge database at their fingertips.

                                    Main disappointment with siri was the usage of bing. Who on earth uses bing except those who don't know how to change their default search?

                                      AnonD-456472, 22 Oct 2016how did they come close? siri doesnt have any follow up g... moreI think he was talking about how conversational Siri appeared to be. Siri seemed to have some understanding of context, which is very surprising for Siri. But yeah, Google Assistant did way better.

                                        Hope there will be something new also about that on 26th.
