What is Google Assistant for?

Google Assistant is Google's virtual assistant (its archenemy is called Siri) and it is a service based on machine learning. The things you can ask him are really a lot and range from simple requests to very complex requests.

Google Assistant will also be able to understand even indirect questions. An example? If before with Google Now you had to ask "Ok, Google. Is it raining tomorrow?", Now thanks to Google Assistant you can ask "Ok, Google. Do I need an umbrella tomorrow?". The "conversation" will thus be more natural and you will almost feel like you are talking to a person who can fully understand what you are saying.
