Google assistant is by far one of the best assistant out there and is downright my favourite. It mostly comes pre-installed on most, if not all Android phones and it is always ready to help.
With the new list of Google assistant accents, you can actually choose the voice of your own assistant. The accents includes both different males and females accent to choose as opposed to the single, female only accent we are already used to.
