Google to invest in startups that use Assistant technology

Google has announced a new investment program who are working to broaden Google Assistant hardware or features. This new program will provide startups with financial support, early access to Google tools, access to the Google Cloud Platform, and also offer promotional support. This new investment program will support the startups with investment capital from Google to provide additional financial resources for the development, hiring, and management of these startups. It will also offer technical advice from engineers, product managers, and design experts to share technical guidance and product development feedback. Google will also open up access to the Google Cloud Platform which is its cloud computing services that run on the same infrastructure that we use for products like Google Search and YouTube. Using the promotional support, Google marketing channels will drive greater awareness for the features and functionality of these new applications. Google is welcoming companies across a range of fields including startups that are developing technologies that broaden the Assistant’s set of features or are building new hardware devices for digital assistants, or that focus on a particular industry such as travel, games, or hospitality. The companies in the first-batch include GoMomentCreator of Ivy, a 24/7 concierge for hotel guests Edwin personal English tutor powered by AI, BotSociety, Pulse Labs. Source
