Google Assistant is growing in a big way.
Google today announced some new features for Google Assistant. The company says that Google Assistant will be available in more than 30 languages by the end of 2018, up from the eight languages that it currently supports.
Some of the new languages that Google Assistant will learn include Danish, Dutch, Hindi, Indonesian, Norwegian, Swedish, and Thai.
Google Assistant will also learn to be multilingual this year, meaning you'll be able to speak to it in more than one language and it'll understand you.
Google is also bringing Routines to Google Assistant. Starting next week, you'll be able to use six routines that'll help you get multiple things done with one command. For example, you can say "Hey Google, I'm home" and your Google Assistant will turn on your lights, share your home reminders, play music, and more.
Also coming next week are location-based reminders for your smart speaker. This feature is already available on phones, but next week you'll be able to tell your Google Home to remind you to get milk at the grocery store and when you get there, the Google Assistant on your phone will remind you.
Finally, Google says that it's working with device makers and carriers to make Google Assistant better. Through the Assistant Mobile OEM program, Google is helping device makers to build deeper integrations into their devices with Google Assistant. Soon, integrations on devices from LG, Sony, and Xiaomi will be available.
Meanwhile, the Assistant Carrier program will help Google Assistant users get more details on their service, such as getting customer support and adding new services. Sprint, Koodo, Telus, and Vodafone are already working on integrations with Google Assistant.
