Google is tight-lipped about the products and the features of its new offerings that it will launch on 4 October, but latest leaks and coding show that users could soon use company's artificial intelligence-based (AI) assistant in the upcoming Chromebooks.

As per a report in 9to5google, hidden quietly within the coding of the Google Home app is a mention that some Assistant applications will work with Chromebooks.

"Listed in the compatibility section of the Chat with your Assistant 'game' right alongside phones, Google Home, and Allo is Chromebooks, clear as day," the report said. Along with the text, the Chromebook icon was also noticed making it almost obvious that Google Assistant would make its way to the Chromebook and Chrome OS.

The report also adds that the update will likely make its way along with the recently leaked PixelBook, the device being the first Chrome OS-based device to sport the feature.

Google is expected to launch the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL smartphones, Google Home Mini and a range of other devices on 4 October.
