AccuWeather Launches Google Assistant App
AccuWeather has launched AccuWeather for the Google Assistant, allowing users to access weather forecasts using natural language voice commands.
AccuWeather for the Google Assistant is built on Google's natural language speech recognition and machine learning combined with AccuWeather's forecasts and warnings. The app allows people to ask simple weather and forecast-related questions. When users ask the AccuWeather app, "Do I need an umbrella?" or "When will the snow stop?" they will hear the most appropriate recommendations based on the forecast. It helps users quickly find the current conditions and forecasts for their exact locations and millions of other locations worldwide and also provides exclusive and proprietary weather forecasts, such as AccuWeather RealFeelTemperature and patented AccuWeather MinuteCast.
AccuWeather app for the Google Assistant is available on all Google Assistant-enabled devices, including speakers like Google Home, Android phones, through the Google Assistant iPhone app, Apple TV, headphones, and more.
"We are happy to launch AccuWeather for the Google Assistant to our audience as a natural way to quickly and easily find the weather information they need," Steven Smith, president of digital media for AccuWeather, said in a statement. "We are dedicated to providing the best and most accurate forecasts available with the Google Assistant across devices, and this is a welcome expansion in how we can serve that audience with enhanced ase of use and simple voice commands."
To use the voice app, users simply ask the Google Assistant to "Talk to AccuWeather" and ask for their local forecast or weather information.
