    As Assistant has been discontinued due to Google’s purchase of API.ai, I feel it should be removed from this list.

    Hi Ashik,
    Thanks for sharing the awesome collection of Android Assistant Apps. I tried Google Allo, Robin and Indigo but both apps have some limitation. For free, Assistant.ai is best for me.

  4. Ian Ward

    As Steven mentioned, Assistant has been discontinued, after a take-over by Google. This was by far the best virtual assistant available. I have replaced her with Robin, for the time being. Robin is still in the development stage, so I’m expecting her to get better.
