A few years ago, you might have felt silly talking to Siri like she’s your crazy knowledgeable best friend. But the launch of other assistant tools like Amazon Echo and Google Home have made talking to tech, well, pretty normal. And it’s about to be even more common with Google Assistant being rolled out on iPhone this week. (Because how many people do you really know with a Pixel?)
If you haven’t heard of Google Assistant, it’s a search engine you can activate by typing or talking. So yes, it works similarly to Siri, but it can also be incorporated into your text messages too, answering questions like where the closest juice bars near your yoga studio are so everyone on a group chat can decide where to go together.
But there are some cool ways the new features on Google Assistant and Google Home can benefit your wellness routine, too. (AKA they’re not just for settling arguments about song lyrics.)
