can you beatbox my friend here can throw down some beats here's one I've been practicing boots and cats and boots and cats and boots and cats and boots and cats okay so we've determined which one is the more talented of the two assistants but how do they handle more practical commands what do I have going on today good day Vanessa the time is 1204 p.m. the weather in San Francisco currently is 68 degrees and mostly cloudy have a wonderful day okay Vanessa I found three events for today when is my next flight okay I found this on the web for when is my next flight American flight 208 from San Francisco to Miami leaves at 8:30 a.m. on November 14th when it comes to calendar integration Google assistant has a slight advantage not only connects scheduled events and weed through your calendar but it can also look through emails for things like flight confirmations how do you say I want a beer in Spanish quiero una cerveza let me check that even though Google assistant is not yet available in Spanish it is unbeatable at translating languages Siri sometimes can't even understand my English show me Sofia vergata movies critics say these are some of the best her movies include hot pursuit machete kills and 19 others okay so you're not always gonna say Sofia Vetta gotta with a Latin Flair but the point is Google assistant gets it no matter what the accent where's she from I can't do that what are you trying to find out Vanessa and you can continue a conversation without having to repeat information because it's just that smart Barranquilla Colombia how tall is Tom Cruise Tom Cruise it's 5 feet 7 inches tall Tom Cruise is 5 feet tall looks like Siri shaved off a few inches and it's not the only thing it's gotten wrong no one can be Google assistant at its own searches so things like stats hours of operations or your basic searches tend to be more accurate pixal so they can both do this activate bluetooth okay i turned on bluetooth but only google can do this turn on flashlight show David Bowie songs on Spotify okay searching for David Bowie on the iTunes Store not so fast Google assistant is undoubtedly better at controlling Spotify but it's not better controlling all apps and for apps like lift and venmo Siri still reigns supreme that is until Google assistant gets lift support which it will so that one's a draw but let's see which ones can do this name that tune hang on I can't identify songs yet I believe this is deck the halls' by sounds of Christmas this was a feature that was available on Google now and for some reason it's not on Google assistant so let's see which one can do this read my last email here's one at 10:25 a.m. Vanessa Hansen and it's not just for email Siri can also read back your text or give you information about your voicemails how many days until May the fourth it's 174 days until then here's what I found maybe Siri is better at math so that was a pretty obscure command and overall Google assistant is the better of the two for now but artificial intelligence still has a ways to go before it can completely replace humans but it is getting closer
