Supported devices
Hey everyone! In response to a reversion of my edit, I am here to have a discussion :) Just going to copy my edit summary: "The "Supported devices" section can easily evolve into hundreds of individual devices if we let it. But we specify that an SDK for implementation of Assistant was released in "Developer support", along with a few examples. I think that's enough." Any thoughts, Daylen? :) LocalNet (talk) 05:34, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
- Hi @LocalNet: Before removing the section, I just wanted to ensure that the deleted information is still present in the article. I have went ahead and added details about Google Assistant coming to the Pixelbook under platform expansion. However, the developer support is lacking details about 3rd-party smart speakers, which currently have (after Android devices) the largest number of Assistant-enabled devices. I think a mention of these devices should go under the developer support section. Thoughts? Daylen (talk) 16:18, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
- Hey there! When it comes to the "Platform expansion" section, it currently (and, in my opinion, correctly) is limited to Google's own devices and operating systems, so I agree with your addition of Google Pixelbook there. As far as "Developer support" goes, it currently says "a software development kit (SDK) was released, allowing third-party developers to build their own hardware that can run the Google Assistant", along with "integrated into Raspberry Pi, cars from Audi and Volvo, and smart home appliances, including fridges, washers, and ovens, from companies including..." That's an accurate summarization of other companies integrating the Assistant into their products, but it doesn't specifically call out smart speakers, so I'm okay with naming that as well. How about this as a refined text:
- "In April 2017, a software development kit (SDK) was released, allowing third-party developers to build their own hardware that can run the Google Assistant.[1][2] It has been integrated into Raspberry Pi,[3][4] cars from Audi and Volvo,[5][6] and smart home appliances, including smart speakers, fridges, washers, and ovens, from companies including JBL, Anker, iRobot, LG, General Electric, and D-Link.[7][8][9][10][11]"

Article written like advertisment
I feel like this article should be marked as written like an advertisement. There are many parts that just don't seem neutrally written. From D0nk M3m3s (talk) 16:43, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
