Android Oreo might introduce better app integration for Google Assistant

You can do a lot of things with Google Assistant. A simple Google search will bring up all you can do with it. One thing it needs to get better at though is third-party app integration. But it looks like Google is working on that one with its newest operating system iteration, Android 8.0 Oreo. A new string found within the Android Developers website code shows a possibility of interaction by voice as long as the app supports Android 8.0. This means, Google might be opening the ability for other apps to interact with its Google Assistant without the user having to leave the app. On top of that, it looks like Google wants to do the same for other digital assistants like Amazon’s Alexa app and Microsoft’s Cortana app.

Not much is known yet about when this might be coming to users or what sort of activities can be executed. But it does show us what we could expect. But as you might have noticed there are caveats to this, you’ll need to have an Android Oreo powered device and it’ll depend on the developer if they want to start working on the integration.
