This is really disappointing. I was hoping Assistant would just be part of Google Now, but it looks like they want you to buy a Pixel, use Allo, or their own devices. I sure as hell don't want ANOTHER messaging app when Hangouts is already dying off. And I was not impressed with the Pixel's price.

If it's any consolation, I own a Pixel and Assistant doesn't feel materially different from how I remember Google Now on my old Galaxy S5.

  It works offline. There might be some AI chip in Pixel.

    Interesting. That's an impressive sounding implementation detail, but as a user of several months I literally did not notice.

    Unlikely given that you can hack an Android phone to have Assistant.
