AI assistants, you will make our life easier

The AI assistant are growing up so quickly in the last year. The development that we (the techies) have seen in the last years have been awesome. We have passed from saying "Ok Google" for googling something on the web to saying "Ok Google" to do almost whatever you want with your smartphone.

Yes I prefer Google than Apple!! But I do not have anything against Apple, moreover I am waiting the next MacBook Pro to buy it :)

But in this post I don't want to speak about the best two companies of the world, I am here to post about the importance that the Chatbot will have in the next years and decades.

First I would like to highlight that I am a lover of the most important and one of the most developed AI systems in the world. Yeah it is, Google. More concretely, the users we can use the Google assistant that is the AI assistant that you are using when you ask for something in Google App or in Google Chrome browser. 

If you use Google assistant daily, you will know that you can use to do almost everything with that. At least in my case I use it to call, send WhatsApp's messages, to open Spotify, to open, pause and play Youtube, to remind me thing, to set the alarm, etc... 

In the way and frequency that I use it, I find it so useful. But the key of this post is that the AI assistants are making our life easier than ever. Now I use my voice to send a WhatsApp or to do almost all.

It's awesome but not enough, I have lost the sum of times that I have checked the Play Store to see if the Google Allo is available.
Yesterday finally after a lot of time waiting I could installed it, and maybe I will do a post only of it, talking about how really it is using daily. 

Ok, Google Allo is one of the most promising Google's product. I am so excited to try it and to use it, furthermore I would like to replace WhatsApp. That's so much but this type of goals is what you can expect when you introduce a message app with the AI's experience and the search engine of a company as Google. 

On the final of this post I attach you the video of the demonstration on live that was shown in the presentation of Google Allo.

Yeah it's amazing!! A real chatbot that goes so well. And let you do this type of things that you can and will able to do with the Google assistant. But you have inside your chat. Unbelievable but true. 

Try to overpass this Siri haha. Ok, I think that I will do a post comparing the three assistants from the best 3 companies of the world. Siri from Apple, Google Assistant from Google and the last player to arrive on the AI assistant's race, Cortana from Microsoft. I only have tried once that, but hopeful near future from this last.

Ok, now imagine that Google let to external companies use their Chatbot (Google assistant and the Chatbot) in the website of the external company as Walmart do with their services of Walmart's webpage. How many people could the companies save introducing the Chatbot as a service in the Sales Department? Yeah it has come to your mind that the companies could get the sales by without a lot of people that now are working as seller.

So what could we say about the potential of the AI assistant in the personal world? Ok they are going to make our life easier but in the professional world they can save to the companies a lot of money. 

But in the professional world the AI could have an unbelievable potential to do it more efficiency and more reliable because with the data (BigData) that the data centers have and the machine learning that we can introduce to them they could be the best professionals. And I say that could be the best professional in each field because the AI have done the things much better than the best professional of each field. For example Deep Blue of IBM a Chess Computer won the World Champion Garry Kasparov in 1996.
DeepMind created a software of the game Go and won the world's best player Lee Sedol for first time ever, and AlphaGo, the name of the program, has done it this year.
The people of DeepMind have created a unique neural network architecture that learn how to play videogames and do it with huge results as we could see with AlphaGo. 

An AI software can detect a disease from a blood test better than a Doctor or can suggest something that the Doctor have not seen. And like this a lot of cases more. But the most important to emphasize is that AI can do a lot of thing better than the best professional of a certain field, but it can't do things that a boy of 5 years can do as seen someone with a certain mood. 

We will see how many years pass until we reach the HLMI (Human Level Machine Intelligence) and then how many days, weeks or months until they (HLMI) reach the SuperIntelligence. 

Here I attach you the video of the demonstration of Google Allo.
