Google has officially announced the retirement of its voice assistant platform, Google Assistant, setting the end of support for March 2026. According to a banner screenshot from the company’s support forums, the assistant will remain operable until that time before being gradually phased out.
Google Assistant was unveiled in May 2016 at Google I/O as a conversational successor to Google Now, debuting that October on the first Pixel phones and Google Home speaker. Over the next few years it rapidly expanded to billions of devices—Android phones, smart speakers, watches, TVs, and cars, adding features like Continued Conversation, Duplex phone calls (2018), real-time Interpreter Mode (2019), and proactive Memory reminders (2021).
