Google Assistant can now share photos, search podcasts, and make notes with third-party apps  By Khari Johnson in Venturebeat

Google Assistant on smartphones, smart displays, and smart speakers is getting a series of upgrades today, like the ability to create notes and lists with third-party apps and search podcasts by topic.

Google Assistant on smartphones is also gaining the ability to share photos with your voice so you can say “Hey Google, show me photos from last weekend.” Once Google Photos results appear on your screen, you can choose the photos you want to send and tell Google Assistant to send them to one of your contacts. Last fall, Google Nest smart displays got the ability to use voice alone to share photos that appear on the device’s digital photo frame or in voice search results after users say things like “Hey Google, show me my photos from San Diego.”   ...." 

Google Keep and AI

Makes sense to integrate the idea of note taking and reminding with bot-like AI.    An idea we tested.  Have been a user of Evernote for some time and they recently added an intelligence method which finds articles related to what you are writing.    Then I was introduced to Google Keep recently, and found it interesting.    Intrigued that Google might integrate more meaningful AI into the mix.    The notion that it will be integrated into something like Google Home is also fascinating.  I can't say that the header statement below is right yet,  but look forward to further examination.
