Google Assistant Has 500 Million Users

Amazon had previously reported having sold more than 100 million gadgets packed with Alexa voice assistant. The new number from Google easily outdoes it. It also means that Google has access to more number of devices and AI-infused virtual assistant has been accumulating more data and can recognize more patterns.

War Of Virtual Assistants

At the same time, it should be noted that 500 million users every month is a massive population and Google has data on all of them. But looking at the bigger picture, Google-handled Android runs on roughly 2.5 billion devices all over the world. But there are just 500 million Google Assistant users, which is less than one-fourth of all Android users.

The number also reveals the peak of competition between tech giants- Apple, Google, Amazon, and Facebook. Everyone wants their voice assistant and other services to reach a larger audience.

With new technologies like Samsung Neon, virtual assistants could take a new shape in the future.
