Out of curiosity, is this the the actual "Google Assistant" you're referring to? Or simply Google Now?

I believe there is a difference, but that's purely speculation on my park. I'll be able to test it more in ~2 weeks when my Pixel XL arrives.

Ah good point - this might be google now. It's the voice search feature on the search bar that persists on all home screens.

Didn't realize they might be different products.

I believe they have added ML in the Assistant, along with some new features like context recognition. Granted, it's of course difficult to say how much is shared between Now and Assistant.

FYI you can already use the new Google Assistant in several devices http://www.xda-developers.com/xda-external-link/google-assis...
