  • A leaked memo shows Google is still behind Google Assistant, even if it seems doomed in the age of ChatGPT.
  • The memo says Google is adding LLM smarts to Assistant to make it “supercharged.”
  • Unfortunately, internal restructuring has necessitated some team members being dropped.

Back at Google I/O in May, we heard all about AI. In fact, if you replay the keynote and drink every time you hear the term “AI,” you’d likely die before the end of it. One thing we didn’t hear much about at I/O, however, was Google Assistant.

What chance does Assistant even have in a world with ChatGPT, Bing Chat, and even Google’s own Bard? This realization has caused some people to question whether or not Assistant is doomed. Thankfully, that doesn’t appear to be the case now that we’ve seen a leaked memo on the matter (via Axios).
