Google’s artificial intelligence-based voice Assistant is on more than 100 million devices now, and the company is leveraging a longtime competitor to expand the technology to even more people.
At its developer conference on Wednesday, Alphabet Inc.’s Google said it’s launching the Assistant as an application for Apple Inc.’s iPhone. The app will support many of the same functions as the service does on Google devices. Users will be able to integrate with Gmail and control home appliances, Google said. The application will become available first for users in the U.S. and support English. Other countries and languages will come later.
