KARA VERLANEY10:38:48 AM PDT Google’s Home speaker can now make phone calls
DIETER BOHN10:38:44 AM PDT I doubt we're really calling Rishi's mom but she is mad at him for not calling. "Oh hi, everyone." Or maybe it's real. Who knows!
VLAD SAVOV10:38:24 AM PDT No love for Europe with the free calls, eh Google?

DIETER BOHN10:37:29 AM PDT Will start with reminders, flight status, traffic alerts.
CASEY NEWTON10:37:26 AM PDT "Proactive assistance" sounds like a good idea on a whiteboard, but the next thing you know you're asking people if they want to buy movie tickets when they ask you for the weather and then they throw their smart speaker in the garbage.
DIETER BOHN10:37:03 AM PDT The lights on the Home turn on, he says "Hey Google, what's up?"
VLAD SAVOV10:36:53 AM PDT (photo)

VLAD SAVOV10:36:15 AM PDT (photo)

DIETER BOHN10:36:06 AM PDT This summer, hitting Canada, Australia, France, Germany, and Japan.
VLAD SAVOV10:35:41 AM PDT (Dieter is keeping his hands warm by typing furiously fast. This must be the coldest Google I/O ever. Sorry I brought the British weather with me, guys.)
DIETER BOHN10:35:32 AM PDT It's been out for 6 months. 50 new features since then.

VLAD SAVOV10:32:49 AM PDT (photo)
DIETER BOHN10:32:41 AM PDT Actions are coming to Android phones and iPhones.
KARA VERLANEY10:32:35 AM PDT Third-party actions will soon work on Google Assistant on the phone
DIETER BOHN10:32:28 AM PDT (She didn't mention Alexa, of course.)
CASEY NEWTON10:32:26 AM PDT "Actions on the Google Platform" is the only action most of these devs will be getting all year, if you know what I mean.
DIETER BOHN10:32:16 AM PDT This is "Actions" on the Google platform. Like Alexa's skills, but Google.
DIETER BOHN10:31:59 AM PDT Demo time! Valerie Nygaard.
DIETER BOHN10:31:49 AM PDT It works with Google stuff and third-party developers.
ADI ROBERTSON10:31:41 AM PDT I'm going to start taking bets on the first toothbrush with Google Assistant, btw. Hit me up.
DIETER BOHN10:31:35 AM PDT Huffman is pointing out that Assistant isn't the same thing as Search. Because it can "do" stuff.
VLAD SAVOV10:31:34 AM PDT (photo)
DIETER BOHN10:31:14 AM PDT Coming to more languages: French, German, Japanese, German, Korean, Italian. A bunch - I didn't catch them all.

DIETER BOHN10:30:46 AM PDT There will be a "Google Assistant Built In" badge on products.
DIETER BOHN10:30:32 AM PDT Already moving on! An image of a coffee maker just appeared. Do you want that? Do I want that?

VLAD SAVOV10:29:56 AM PDT (photo)
ADI ROBERTSON10:29:54 AM PDT "All your favorite Google features on the iPhone."
CASEY NEWTON10:29:53 AM PDT I'm definitely looking forward to putting Assistant on my iPhone and trying out all the nifty Lens stuff.
DIETER BOHN10:29:52 AM PDT That's a lot of phones for the Assistant.
DIETER BOHN10:29:37 AM PDT Heeey.
DIETER BOHN10:29:34 AM PDT Google Assistant now available on iPhone.
VLAD SAVOV10:29:12 AM PDT (photo)
VLAD SAVOV10:29:03 AM PDT (photo)
ADI ROBERTSON10:28:35 AM PDT Assistant can basically do all the things now that Google promised us in that original Glass conceptual video.

DIETER BOHN10:27:25 AM PDT Lens can do Google Translate.
DIETER BOHN10:27:15 AM PDT "Available in the coming months."
ADI ROBERTSON10:27:12 AM PDT This actually is useful, but it's great to have an "advance" that is just bringing back the normal way of interacting with your phone.
DIETER BOHN10:27:07 AM PDT Google Lens definitely coming to Assistant. We've got a demo for the feature.
KARA VERLANEY10:26:55 AM PDT Google’s app for lost Android phones is now called Find My Device

ADI ROBERTSON10:22:00 AM PDT "One day AI will invent new molecules that behave in predefined ways."
DIETER BOHN10:21:27 AM PDT Neural nets are also helping with DNA sequencing. "More accurately than state-of-the-art methods."
ADI ROBERTSON10:21:15 AM PDT "Providing tools for people to do what they do better." - Google's AI motto.
VLAD SAVOV10:21:10 AM PDT (photo)
CASEY NEWTON10:20:51 AM PDT Mostly I'm just being quiet and listening right now because AI is cool and Google is extremely good at it.
DIETER BOHN10:20:46 AM PDT First time somebody said "It's early days" onstage. We will try to keep count.
DIETER BOHN10:20:33 AM PDT We're looking at how machine learning can help with detecting cancer.
ADI ROBERTSON10:20:07 AM PDT They're also called "baby neural nets," because Google has clearly learned some things from Guardians of the Galaxy 2.
DIETER BOHN10:19:52 AM PDT Pichai made an Inception joke. "We must go deeper." Because they're nesting neural nets inside neural nets. It got a chuckle.
VLAD SAVOV10:19:45 AM PDT (photo)
ADI ROBERTSON10:19:29 AM PDT "We want it to be possible for hundreds of thousands of developers to use machine learning." A neural net will generate other neural nets to improve AI.
DIETER BOHN10:19:20 AM PDT The fact that Pichai is leading with all this deep AI stuff is a sign, in case that's not obvious. This is a new moat for Google — or at least they want it to be.
VLAD SAVOV10:18:58 AM PDT (photo)
ADI ROBERTSON10:18:09 AM PDT It will focus on three areas: research, tools, and "applied AI."

DIETER BOHN10:17:23 AM PDT These are going to be available on the Google Cloud Compute Engine.
DIETER BOHN10:16:49 AM PDT 180 trillion floating point operations per second. Which seems like a lot.
VLAD SAVOV10:16:45 AM PDT (photo)
DIETER BOHN10:16:34 AM PDT Last year TPUs were good for inference (figuring out what a thing is), but not optimized for training. The next-gen "Cloud TPU" is good for training, too.
VLAD SAVOV10:16:33 AM PDT (photo)
VLAD SAVOV10:15:41 AM PDT (photo)
KARA VERLANEY10:15:34 AM PDT Google Assistant will soon search by sight with your smartphone camera
DIETER BOHN10:15:31 AM PDT Pichai is talking about Tensor Processing Units, which are better than CPUs or GPUs for Google's AI processing.
CASEY NEWTON10:15:21 AM PDT If your data center isn't AI-first, kiss your ass goodbye.
DIETER BOHN10:15:08 AM PDT On to server stuff: "AI First data centers"
ADI ROBERTSON10:14:57 AM PDT So you can take a picture of the sticker on a router and it will save the info on it for you, for instance.
VLAD SAVOV10:14:32 AM PDT (photo)
ADI ROBERTSON10:14:29 AM PDT The premise now isn't just that it can identify things, but that it can save and organize the things it detects.
DIETER BOHN10:14:22 AM PDT You can point it at restaurants to see the info about that restaurant (it also uses GPS).
CASEY NEWTON10:14:02 AM PDT I hope that eventually you can point Google Lens at a guy and it will tell you whether to date him. VLAD SAVOV10:14:02 AM PDT
DIETER BOHN10:13:57 AM PDT It can grab a username and password from a Wi-Fi router. It has OCR. VLAD SAVOV10:13:51 AM PDT
DIETER BOHN10:13:42 AM PDT Launch Lens from Assistant, point it at a flower, and it can identify the flower.

DIETER BOHN10:13:17 AM PDT "Set of vision-based computing capabilities."
DIETER BOHN10:13:06 AM PDT New initiative: "Google Lens"
ADI ROBERTSON10:13:04 AM PDT Biggest cheers since the beginning of the keynote for that one.
DIETER BOHN10:13:01 AM PDT Google removed a chain link fence from an image. Wild.
DIETER BOHN10:12:52 AM PDT "Coming very soon" .... Google can remove obstructions from photos.
VLAD SAVOV10:12:46 AM PDT (photo)
KARA VERLANEY10:12:45 AM PDT Smart Reply is coming to Gmail for Android and iOS
DIETER BOHN10:12:31 AM PDT Claims that Google's computer vision is better at recognizing images than humans. Huh.
CASEY NEWTON10:11:57 AM PDT Google Home is now personalized to the user, so everyone hears a different Burger King ad.
ADI ROBERTSON10:11:54 AM PDT "Similar to speech, we are seeing great improvements in computer vision."
VLAD SAVOV10:11:54 AM PDT (photo)
DIETER BOHN10:11:54 AM PDT "We are seeing great improvements in computer vision."
DIETER BOHN10:11:39 AM PDT Google didn't need 8 microphones, it only needed 2, on the Google Home — because it uses machine learning to figure out who is speaking.
VLAD SAVOV10:11:28 AM PDT (photo)
DIETER BOHN10:11:08 AM PDT (Vision, eh? That's iiiinteresting.) But we're starting by talking about Voice.
DIETER BOHN10:10:34 AM PDT Voice and vision are "new modalities" for computing, after keyboard and mouse.
ADI ROBERTSON10:10:30 AM PDT He's charting an evolution from keyboard / mouse to multitouch to voice.
VLAD SAVOV10:10:25 AM PDT (photo)
DIETER BOHN10:10:05 AM PDT (Same thing that's in Inbox, btw)
DIETER BOHN10:09:55 AM PDT Rolling out Smart Reply to 1 billion users of Gmail.
DIETER BOHN10:09:47 AM PDT Pichai is showing a bunch of products that use Google AI and machine learning. Duo, YouTube suggestions, AdBrain, Photo Search.
VLAD SAVOV10:09:31 AM PDT (photo)
ADI ROBERTSON10:09:24 AM PDT "We are rethinking all our products" to incorporate machine learning and AI.
DIETER BOHN10:09:08 AM PDT "Computing is evolving again ... from a mobile-first to an AI-first world."
VLAD SAVOV10:08:52 AM PDT (photo)
ADI ROBERTSON10:08:44 AM PDT "As you can see, the robot behind me is also pretty happy."
VLAD SAVOV10:08:39 AM PDT (photo)
DIETER BOHN10:08:28 AM PDT Android: 2 billion active devices.
ADI ROBERTSON10:08:21 AM PDT Every day users upload 1.2 billion photos to Google.
DIETER BOHN10:08:20 AM PDT (Dare you to bring up Allo. DOUBLE DARE)
DIETER BOHN10:08:11 AM PDT 800 million monthly active users on Google Drive. 500 million active users on Google Photos.
ADI ROBERTSON10:08:01 AM PDT Doing various stats here — 800 million active users for Google Drive.
DIETER BOHN10:07:46 AM PDT Google's mission is still "organizing the world's information," Pichai says. He's hitting the numbers now. 1 billion users on YouTube, 1 billion hours watched. 1 billion KM navigated on Maps daily.
ADI ROBERTSON10:07:35 AM PDT "Every single day, users watch over 1 billion hours of video on YouTube."
