This is the significance of Google&#8217;s Assistant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Other important information will come as people ask the Assistant to perform actions for them. \u201cIn the search logs, we don\u2019t see people asking to do things like, Book me a table at CasCal for 7 pm for two. Nobody\u2019s going to say that to Google because Google is a search engine, right?\u201d Pereira says. Actually, booking a table is one thing that Google Search can do, but that\u2019s a rare exception: generally, Google search can give you answers, but can\u2019t close the deal. So people don\u2019t ask it to do things, and Google doesn\u2019t get data on assistance. \u201cThat difference between knowing and doing is a big one,\u201d says Pereira, \u201cand only now are we only starting to get enough traffic and interaction to start understanding how we can make [an assistant] grow and become more robust, more general, more flexible. It\u2019s going to be a long road to go from the information side where search comes from, to the doing side\u200a\u2014\u200ato pervasive assistance.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More on our &#8220;containers of our collective intelligence&#8221;:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.the-vital-edge.com\/machine-based-collective-intellige\/\">http:\/\/www.the-vital-edge.com\/machine-based-collective-intellige\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HT Eldon Edwards<\/p>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/backchannel.com\/google-our-assistant-will-trigger-the-next-era-of-ai-3c72a4d7bc75#.risur0cxa\" class=\"embedly-card\" data-card-recommend=\"0\" data-card-width=\"100%\">https:\/\/backchannel.com\/google-our-assistant-will-trigger-the-next-era-of-ai-3c72a4d7bc75#.risur0cxa<\/a><\/p>\n      ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>        Google Assistant: The Difference Between Knowing and Doing<br \/>\n       <a href=\"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/2016\/10\/27\/google-assistant-the-difference-between-knowing-and-doing\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":77,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[93],"tags":[94],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22996"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/77"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22996"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22996\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22996"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22996"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22996"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
