Google Assistant is the best personal assistant

The market for intelligent personal assistants like Amazon Echo, Cortona or Siri has grown the last couple of years quite a lot.
There is a new type of player in town: the intelligent personal assistant device like Google Assistant and Amazon Echo especially designed to help you with whatever questions you may have.
But when it comes to choosing one many people will run into difficulties. Firstly because unless you used one at a friend's house or something you may not have direct experience with such a device. And Second, because each device has its own ups and downs.

As a Google enthusiast, there isn't much of a question for me. I'd go with the Google Assistant all the way.
And apparently, I'm making the right choice! Why? Because Google Assistant does what Google provides best: Answers.

In past surveys, it has been shown that most people want more instant answers from their intelligent assistants and not implementing actual searches as demonstrated by this graphic:


And as I said, who is the king of information and instant answers? Google of course. Comparing Google Home, Cortona, Siri and Amazon Echo the winner is clearly Google with a whopping 68.1% answered questions having a 90.6% accuracy.


I find it amazing how low down the chart Amazon Echo is. With only 20.7% of the questions asked by its users being answered and only 87% being correct.

For me at least, things are pretty clear. Google will be a leader in the intelligent home assistants and over time I'm sure it will implement some kind of monopoly on this industry, beating its competitors on all fronts because, in essence, Google is a mighty search engine with almost all the information, while its competitors are....well, are not.

I personally use Google Now, or Ok Google to perform a simple task, like calling somebody when I'm driving or getting or getting basic information by asking simple questions. Overall I'm very intrigued when it comes to devices like Google Home, I would totally buy one but my spoken English isn't very good, I don't mispronounce words but I do have a heavy accent (or at least I think I do) and I'm pretty sure there is no virtual assistant capable of understanding me perfectly, for example, when I'm using Google assistant on my phone, I sometimes need to repeat things like three times before it understand me.

Until these home assistants aren't available for all the countries out there, I'm not getting one yet.
What is your opinion on virtual assistants like Google Home or Amazon Echo? Do you prefer home based devices like Google Assistant and Amazon
