Kodi 18 Leia Comes with Google Assistant SupportByGabriela Vatu-February 8, 2018.454 Users will ask Ai to play the Kodi content requested to appear on Android Tv recommendations Big news for Kodi users! Google Assistant comes to give a helping hand in picking up what to look for next. According to the firm Kodi 18.0 will offer Google Assistant support. Dubbed Leia will offer plenty of new things to play with in memory of the late Carrie Fisher Kodi’s next update, but the Google Assistant support is the most exciting of them all. Google’s Ai enables people to ask for different general knowledge or ask for particular songs to be played so they can ask for weather information or information about the schedule of the day and so on. It’s one of the most advanced Ais of its kind right now going head-to-head with Amazon’s Alexa and far surpassing Apple’s Siri. Kodi (@KodiTv) February 5, 2018 Kodi 18 will make it easier for Android Tv users to search their Kodi libraries with Google Assistant. Up to now, while the Ai has been integrated into Android Tv Kodi applications, its functionality could not be used. The update scheduled for delivery with the next edition of Kodi comes in the form of Kodi content being shown in the top row on Android TV’s recommendations alongside those from Netflix YouTube or Google Play Tv. This is a great addition because you may or may not have the sequel to anything you’re doing on the same platform available and showing multiple options has great benefits. Kodi is an open-sourced media player that can be mounted on various set-top boxes that can play online or via network drives to local media files as well as to content. The platform has some popularity mainly because of the numerous online add-ons that enable users to watch premium content that typically requires payment like some movie channels or sports channels. There have been quite a few cases involving Kodi alleging copyright infringement.
