Google Assistant has been the digital assistant of choice for many Android users over the years, but it faces an existential crisis with the advent of AI. Google plans to upgrade Assistant with Google Bard, and this upgraded “Assistant with Bard” has been officially announced to be coming to Android and iOS soon. With the latest Google App update, we can see progress being made on this end, and it has given us a sneak peek at some exciting tidbits about Assistant with Bard’s functionality.
Google App v14.49.40 includes several strings around Assistant with Bard. Curiously, this stable release of the app is the same as the v14.49.39 beta and the v14.49.38 beta. This indicates that several strings (and presumably their companion functionalities) have moved from the beta branch to the stable branch.
