At its Google I\/O developer conference, Google today announced that the Google Assistant<\/a>, the company\u2019s virtual personal assistant that\u2019s available on devices like the Google Home and Pixel phone, will soon get more conversational.<\/p>\n As Google\u2019s Scott Huffman announced<\/a> today, 70 percent of Google Assistant requests are already in natural language \u2014 not the typical keyword queries you\u2019d usually use in Google Search.<\/p>\n Huffman noted that the Assistant will get more conversational in the coming months and allow you to also have conversations around things that you see, for example. It\u2019ll be integrated with the new Google Lens and that product\u2019s built-in image recognition\u00a0technology. That way, you\u2019ll be able to use the Assistant to easily talk about things around you. It\u2019ll be a while before you can do that, though, because it won\u2019t be rolling out until a few months from now.<\/p>\n But if you don\u2019t want to talk, you\u00a0will also soon be able to type your queries on your phone. Often, you don\u2019t want to speak out your query, after all \u2014 maybe because you are in a public place or simply don\u2019t want other people to hear your conversation. This feature is rolling out today.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Google Assistant should be hands-down the easiest way to get things done,\u201d Huffman\u00a0noted. \u201cWe\u2019re starting\u00a0to crack the hard conputner science\u00a0of conversationality.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/05\/google-io-2017-0142.jpg?w=1024&h=683\")
