The Future of Voice in Mobile Apps with Google Assistant PM and Lead Designer

Voice in mobile apps is one of the top trends for 2021-22. We already have voice assistants in smart speakers, smart home devices, cars, and at the OS level in smartphones. They are now increasingly showing up in mobile apps. The introduction of voice user interface elements and voice assistant features within mobile apps will change the very nature of the app experience. At the final Voicebot Live session for Q1 2021, we are featuring two people that have unique insights into this mobile app evolution.

Changing Mobile App Features and Behaviors

Baris Gultekin is the product management director for Google Assistant. Google Assistant already has more than 500 million monthly active users, many of those on mobile. As a result, the company probably has more data on how voice is changing the smartphone experience than anyone. It is not often a Google PM is available for live interviews. I am looking forward to discussing both Google App Actions which binds Google Assistant to deep links into mobile apps as well as his group’s support for the rise of custom assistants owned and operated by mobile app publishers.

We will also be joined by Cathy Pearl who is best known as the author of the popular book, Designing Voice User Interfaces. Cathy is also the design manager for Google Assistant and has been thinking a lot about how voice assistants are changing user behaviors on smartphones.
