The same Google Assistant as on Google Home devices is now on SHIELD!
Google Assistant is a lot smarter and feature-rich. It transforms your TV experience. You can find content or ask Google Assistant to give you recommendations. You can control your media with your voice without the need for finding your remote; “OK Google, Pause.” You can now even use your SHIELD to add items to your shopping list, turn on your lights* or see who’s at the door**. Google Assistant really helps to connect Android users to their Google connected life on TV. You can ask SHIELD to show you your pictures of your latest holiday or ask when your next meeting is, and you will get the visual response up on your TV. Finally, you can now also use SHIELD to control your other Google Assistant devices like your Chromecast Speakers or Google Home device!
