It’s obvious current ai can handle context reasonably well which is something the previous voice assistants failed badly at. The next thing is to write all the apis so the ai can reasonably act on that context. It’s such a new way of doing things it’s probably best to hard cut development of the previous way to do it which was seemingly hard coded triggers->actions which always failed badly if you wanted to add context eg. “open house blinds when I pick up the phone in the morning or when the alarm goes off, whichever comes first” would never work with the old voice assistants. It might just work with the new ai systems but it’ll be a completely different system, not even a rewrite at that point.

I suppose this might explain the Google -> Alphabet thing but they haven't really embraced the new corporate name enough for "Alphabet Intelligence" to make any sense.
