It took other tech giants years to catch up: Amazon's Alexa assistant appeared in 2014 as part of the Echo home speaker, and the unimaginatively named Google assistant appeared only last summer. Google assistant was positioned as central to nearly all products the company unveiled: wireless earphones; two new smartphones; two new home speakers; and a laptop computer.
