Very personal.Google Duplex demo uses Assistant AI to talk to real people

The most interesting demo at Google I/O may have been Google Duplex. As part of the future of Google Assistant (along with 6 new voices including John Legend), it's built to facilitate natural-sounding conversation from the digital assistant.
