For years now, Google Assistant has been one of the best AI assistants out there. It’s way more powerful than Siri, less focused on pushing you to buy things than Alexa, and light years ahead of Bixby. However, there are things Assistant doesn’t do as well as it could, and it is limited by the fact that almost all of its features won’t work if not connected to the internet.

According to a new report from The Information, though, this could change quite soon. According to the report, Google is working on a new AI assistant called “Pixie.” Allegedly, Pixie would be a Pixel-exclusive assistant with all of the power of Google Assistant but with new tricks that Assistant can’t perform.
