1. In the first update, Gmail is getting AI-powered ‘smart compose’ to write your emails for you, great right, just keep on reading and you will enjoy even more.

2. Google is launching an option called “Pretty Please” for families. It encourages and praises kids to use the word “please” when asking a question to Google Assistant.

3. Google is making Assistant more mobile friendly. Now its answers will be a full screen experience. The visual updates to Assistant are launching this summer for Android(maybe in next week) and later this year for iOS.

4. Google Assistant might actually let us order pizza from our smartphone soon, a feature Google Home has had for a while now. Now Google Assistant will also be able to do that.

7. Google Newscasts: Google introduces new media format called Newscasts that bring you full coverage and key moments around a particular news story including social media posts, opinions, and analysis. Google’s answer to the fake news? Full Coverage gives you a complete look at how a story is being covered by mapping the relationship between entities — all in real time. But will it really be an answer to fake news and will work the way Google thinking it to be?
