Google Assistant may be a Pixel-exclusive

Well, if the source that sent it to Android Police is true, Google Assistant, at least in the OS, may be exclusive to the Pixels.

Android 7.1 Nougat's changelog is here, includes both Pixel-exclusive and non-Pixel exclusive changes

Well, that would be a bit of a buzzkill for me.

That would be a major bummer because the fragmentation argument would become even more relevant.

I'd love to see it on my Note.

Maybe it's a time thing.

It seems too integral to Google's strategy to leave it off of other phones. Will be curious to watch.

Which makes this development weird.

Google Assistant collects a lot of data, data that's valuable to Google. Why won't they have it on as many devices as possible?

Laws?

It's probably only time-exclusive. If every phone was getting Google Assistant right off of the bat, what reason would any of us have to really consider the Pixel? GA is basically the one defining feature of the Pixel phones.

I'm thinking it would take too long to get to all the carrier phones. By the time it hits every Android we'll be well into Android O or P.

Where, i can get the code source of Google assistant AI

The assistant looks great. I think you can use it in Google Allo tho.

It definitely is one of the features that I am very excited about. I really want to test that out once I get that pixel XL.
