As a result of a famous YouTuber testing four smartphone voice assistants, the first place is 'Google Assistant', and the lowest?



Mr.

Marquez Brownlee (MKBHD), a YouTuber who is popular as a gadget-based information source, is equipped with smartphones such as 'Google Assistant', 'Siri (Apple)', 'Alexa (Amazon)', and 'Bixby (Samsung)'. We have released a video comparing AI voice assistants and testing which one is better.

In the movie, we are testing the three points of 'weather guidance', 'answering questions', and 'setting timers' for voice assistants installed in smartphones. Brownlee also tested a similar voice assistant in 2017, and at that time ranked 'Google Assistant' first. Even in this test, 'Google Assistant' has been ranked first since that time, and he says, 'It is a performance that sets it apart from other voice assistants.'



For weather information and answers to questions, we compared the speed of response after performing voice operations. According to Mr. Brownlee's test, Google Assistant and Alexa are relatively quick to respond as voice assistants, and Apple's Siri and Samsung's Bixby are inferior in terms of speed, causing a time lag in support.



Also, Siri basically supports one timer, and if you start a timer with a new voice assistant while setting a timer, the running timer will be overwritten with a new one. On the other hand, Google Assistant is standard for handling multiple timers at the same time, so Mr. Brownlee points out that Google Assistant is superior in that respect as well.



In addition, Mr. Brownlee cites 'the ability to maintain the context of the conversation for a long time' as an advantage of Google Assistant. Both voice assistants are excellent at answering facts to specific questions, but Google Assistant and Siri in particular are able to respond to questions being developed in a conversational format. Among them, tests show that Google Assistant can continue asking questions in long conversations while understanding the context compared to Siri. On the other hand, Bixby and Alexa are not good at understanding the context following a question and answer, so if you ask a question using a demonstrative word such as 'How old is that person?' It seems that there are many cases where it is not possible to answer correctly.



In addition, Mr. Brownlee points out that Siri is inconvenient in terms of device control, and Google Assistant and Bixby are voice assistants such as starting voice recording and playing specific programs on Netflix. , but they give an example where Siri simply launches the associated app.



As a result, Brownlee's test ranking of voice assistants is as follows. Google Assistant is the best, speed, answers based on the correct source, long question-answer conversations, good support for third-party apps, smartphones, including Google Home. Brownlee says that the ecosystem is complete.



The next point is Siri, which is not as good as Google Assistant, but it is comfortable and has excellent performance, and Apple has built its own ecosystem, so its connectivity is evaluated. doing.



In the movie, Bixby is third, but Mr. Brownlee says, 'I feel like I want to raise Bixby second,' and it seems that it is close to Siri. However, Bixby ranks third due to its limited use with Samsung smartphones and poor conversational support.



And Mr. Brownlee says in the movie that 'Amazon Alexa is clearly the lowest'. However, this is only when comparing mainly the voice assistants installed in smartphones, and adds that 'the evaluation of the Amazon Alexa ecosystem itself, including smart homes, is excluded.'
