No matter what a consumer is searching for, Google wants to deliver the result.

The Alphabet Inc. division of Google Inc. showcased a slew of innovations including a voice-enabled assistant, a messaging app named Allo that is equipped with artificial intelligence and virtual reality capabilities in its latest Android software release N, at its annual developer conference Google I/O.

“We want to help you get things done in the real world,” says Sundar Pichai, Google’s CEO.

As 20% of searches on Google’s mobile search app are voice queries, a voice-enabled Google assistant makes sense for having a conversation with the search giant, Pichai says. The assistant brings in the context of where the smartphone is to help answer questions. For example, if a consumer is standing in front of the large bean structure in Chicago’s Millennium Park, she can say, “Who built this?” without having to say words such as Chicago, Bean or Millennium Park.

The voice assistant is also an integral part to another product the search giant unveiled at the conference, Google Home. Google Home, much like an Amazon Echo device, is a small structure that looks like a vase.

A consumer can control the device with her voice without taking out her smartphone. She can command it by first saying, “Hey Google” or “OK Google” and then asking a question or making a command. For example, if a consumer says, “Hey Google, play Coldplay’s Viva La Vida,” the device will start playing the song. With permission from the consumer, Google Home can connect with other Google apps, such as calendar, maps or Gmail, so consumers can command it to do other tasks, like send an email, check the traffic or schedule an event.

Google also announced that it will launch a virtual reality mode for smartphones with certain specifications that use Android N. The smartphone needs to have high-quality sensors, display options and speed processing in order for the smartphone to have a virtual reality mode, says Clay Bavor, vice president of virtual reality at Google. N will be available in the summer.

The virtual reality platform is called Daydream, and will include apps that consumers can download for this mode. Daydream will be available in the fall. YouTube, Google Street view, Netflix, The New York Times, and MLB and the NBA apps and several games will all be available at launch via Daydream.

Unlike Google’s cardboard virtual reality headset, the new virtual reality platform will run on a sleeker-looking headset that consumers will control with a small remote with a few buttons and a clickable touch pad. The headset looks like a pair of science googles, and is larger than the cardboard VR set, but not as bulky as some VR headsets.

“Virtual reality should be mobile, approachable and for everyone,” Bavor says.

Allo was also a notable part of the keynote address at Google I/O. Much like Google’s Inbox email tools, the messaging app will provide the consumer with suggested responses to a text message. Using artificial intelligence and machine learning, the suggestions are supposed to match what that consumer would typically say. For example, if a consumer receives the text message, “Dinner tonight?” the suggested responses could be “Definitely!” or “I’m busy.” While another consumer could have different suggested responses to that same question, such as “I’m in!” or “Sorry, I can’t.”

Allo, which will also be available this summer, can also interpret images. For example, if a consumer sends a picture of a dog via text, a suggested response could be, “Cute dog” or “Nice Pomeranian.”

Another unique feature of Allo is the inclusion of artificial intelligence into the chat and the ability for a consumer to directly message with Google. A contact named “@Google” can be summoned by users to provide AI-powered services, like finding restaurants and booking tables, or searching for movies.

For example, if a consumer is chatting with a friend about going out to dinner tonight, she can type in the text field “@Google Italian dinner nearby” and restaurant choices that list the name, a picture and website link, will appear in a carousel format within the conversation. Consumers can swipe through them and tap them for more information, without having to leave the chat app and make a reservation saying, for example, “@Google make a reservation.” Within Allo, Google will pull up Open Table for a consumer to complete the reservation.

Google also announced that Android Wear 2.0 will debut in the fall. The upgrade will allow the wearable software to operate without a smartphone nearby.
