Either way, Duplex may never even arrive in the capacity that we say it demoed, Google is known for killing products and using some portions for research only.

Google has done it again, 2 hours worth of blowing us away with Artificial Intelligence being shoved into every nook and cranny of their ecosystem. Google Assistant is smarter, more conversational and in more places. Android P is smarter, looking like iPhone X with a new navigation bar but more efficient. Along with other services and applications utilizing all of the data that Google has collected to make their services better for us. Google I/O 2018 keynote was huge and impressive. ||
