Google Assistant will Now Deliver ‘Good News’ of the Day

San Francisco: To brighten up your day as you wade through a sea of bad news, Google Assistant will now deliver curated good news - stories about people who are solving real-life problems across the world. “Tell me something good” is a new experimental feature, currently available for Assistant users in the US. Just say “Hey Google, tell me something good” to receive your daily dose of good news, Google said in a statement on Tuesday. “Real people are making progress solving real issues and hearing about those stories is a crucial part of a balanced media diet,” said Ryan Burke, Creative Producer, Creative Lab at Google. The daily dose of good stories will be curated and summarised by the Solutions Journalism Network, a non-partisan, non-profit organization. The feature will work on any Google Assistant-enabled device, including phone, Smart Display or Google Home smart speaker. The Google Assistant can now connect with more than 5,000 devices at your home. (IANS)
