Google is now updating its AI Assistant to make it better at understanding the context of queries and the pronunciations of names. That\u2019s based on recent reports following the update, shared alongside some useful videos highlighting the changes.
\nBeyond context changes, the biggest change \u2014 at least for those users who use Google Assistant to make calls \u2014 is the ability to teach the AI pronunciations. Specifically, that\u2019s pronunciations for contacts stored in association with a Google account. So the setting can be found by navigating to the Google app \u2014 or another Google app that has account settings in the settings menu \u2014 and then to the \u201cMore\u201d option.
\nFrom there, Users need to navigate to \u201cSettings,\u201d then \u201cGoogle Assistant,\u201d and then \u201cYour People.\u201d
\nNow, Google features options to select the \u201cDefault\u201d pronunciation or to dictate and record one. And then the system will remember that pronunciation across Google Assistant iterations such as Nest smart speakers going forward.
\nBeyond pronunciations, what\u2019s new with Google Assistant?
\nThe other changes included with this update are likely to be less obvious to users. But they will nonetheless improve the overall experience.
\nTo begin with, Google Assistant is getting \u201cbetter\u201d at differentiating what users are talking about when they make requests. Summarily, Google says that it can now \u201crespond nearly 100 percent accurately\u201d to some requests. For instance, those associated with timers and alarms.
\nThat\u2019s especially true with regard to situations where multiple alarms or timers are set. The system will now be able to more readily discern between those. Effectively giving more accurate responses and making changes more accurately if those are needed.
\nLanguage processing in general is improving too, with regard to contextual understanding and follow-up questions. And Google Assistant can now also take contextual cues from what\u2019s shown on users\u2019 displays. That\u2019s for both smart displays and smartphone displays. All of which is geared toward making Google Assistant even more conversational than ever before.
\nThis is rolling out now, if you\u2019re in the right region
\nOf course, as with most Google Assistant features, these changes are rolling out in the US first. That\u2019s starting with changes to improve contextual awareness. Changes allowing pronunciation dictation will be added over the next several days. But it could take some time for every user to see the alterations.
\nThe update doesn\u2019t appear to require any specific version, however. So the implication is that this is happening server-side and users shouldn\u2019t need to do anything in particular to take advantage of it.<\/p>\n
