While Siri has expanded majorly with better learning capabilities after the new updates, Google has been planning to provide a successor to its Google search with Google Assistant.
A lot has gone in the process to comprehend that Google Assistant is younger than Siri, however, is it smarter than the latter is a question to ponder upon?
Check out the list below to find out for yourself.

When one asks a simpler question like “what is aging”, the assistants are quick with their responses in the same time. However, when you ask a specific question like “who is the Prime Minister of India”, you will notice a difference.

#9. Contextual Questions
Siri is not as good as Google Assistant when it comes to contextual questions. If you follow 'Who is the Prime Minister of India' with another question about his age, it will state the correct age of the leader. However, Siri gets all confused and begins to prompt other questions and vague sentences.
#10. Song Related Questions
While Google may be good with contextual questions, Siri has an upper hand in song related questions. If you ask for some information related to a song, Siri will answer with the right answer. However, Google Assistant will fail miserable in this sector.

#12. Personality
When it comes to sense of humor, Google Assistant is the winner. When asked to tell jokes, Google Assistant cracked up some hilarious jokes whereas Siri couldn't match up to that level.

#13. Written Conversations
This one is a game changer because Google Assistant lets you type your queries too, unlike Siri with whom you will have to speak to ask. It sometimes gets embarrassing in public.
The Conclusion
After all the comparisons, it was noted that Google Assistant is more audio-based and conversational. It reads out the answers and displays very little additional information. On the other hand, Siri is more visual-based, it provides the user with plenty of responses in forms of charts and reports.
