Google is planning a major overhaul of its Assistant, shifting towards generative AI akin to ChatGPT and Bard. This change will impact users, developers, and staff, with support for both old and new methods during the transition. The revamp has begun with the mobile version of Assistant. Google is also reorganizing its Assistant teams and making a limited number of layoffs among thousands of Assistant employees. Google’s leadership remains committed to Assistant’s future, mirroring a trend where companies like Amazon are revamping their digital assistants. Both Google and Amazon have been scaling back their traditional digital assistant efforts recently.
