sincity Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Only weeks after the Google Play app store introduced new donation options for Christmas, the Google Assistant AI is spreading the goodwill with a new donation feature – although currently just in the US. You can now make donations through the Google smart assistant on your smartphone, or compatible smart display or smart speaker. Whatever the device you're using, you'll need to give final confirmation on your smartphone either way as a security measure. As we enter the new year with plenty of good intentions and resolutions that are unlikely to last the month, what better self-improvement kick than a donation to charity?

Other linked charities include Save the Children, American Red Cross, Girls Who Code, charity:water, Doctors Without Borders USA, Room to Read, World Food Program USA, World Wildlife Fund US, and International Rescue Committee. As we mentioned earlier, the feature is currently only available in the US – though given the Google Play donation page was also rolled out to the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Indonesia, and Taiwan, we expect to see Google Assistant's own charitable streak extend to other territories at some point. 9 things Google Assistant can do that you may not know about Via 9to5Google View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
