Saranee Boonritthongchai, head of consumer marketing for Google Thailand, said that the Thai-language Google Assistant will help Thais get things done quickly on their phones, including play a video, get directions from Google Maps, create a shopping list or get help with translations – and more. Once an action is built, you could just say, “Ok Google, talk to...” and access the service or content straight through your Google Assistant. “To talk to your Assistant, just touch and hold the Home button on eligible smartphones and your personal Google Assistant will be ready to help you throughout your day. Even when your hands are full, you can quickly set reminders or get directions with the Google Assistant,” said Saranee. Powered by machine learning, the Google Assistant is built on two decades of experience in Search as well as natural language processing, computer vision, and understanding user context, she added.
