TechCrunch is reporting that Google has a new service in the works called Google Assistant, which users will be able to speak with to get answers, search results, and more. The “do engine” sounds like a Siri competitor , but, it’s rumored that Assistant won’t just be a standalone app; apparently there are plans to release an API for developers to integrate Assistant into all sorts of apps. Another major difference is that Google would control all of the elements that make the service run: knowledge would come from company’s search engine, and personalized results and analysis would come from data mined from services like Google+. According to the rumors, this is a major new product for Google.
