“Ok Google, tell me something positive”. In response, Google Assistant will present you with a series of news that has a positive impact on the world. Currently, this option reserved for a handful of American users, report our colleagues from Android Authority. In an explanatory video posted on YouTube (and appearing below), Google explains how this option works and its purpose.
Google Assistant will give you positive news to cheer you up
The “positive” news revealed by Google Assistant, Solution Journalism Networkan organization that has decided to highlight individuals who work for the good of society. “We train journalists to address what’s really missing from the news: how people react to problems.” He explains the initiative, which claims to have already trained more than 10,000 journalists.
In a few sentences Google Assistant will present to you a brief summary of a news item randomly chosen. Examples of news Google highlights on its blog include the Icelandic curfew to reduce alcohol consumption, or how Georgia State University has increased the pass rate and eliminated the gap between black and white students.
This “not a magic solution” It pisses Google off. “But the experience is worth it because good news that encompasses a good idea can bring some positivity into your day.” guarantees the internet giant. If tests with American users yield results, we can expect to find this option among Google Assistant’s voice commands around the world.
