CAIRO - 29 March 2021: In response to an increasing interest in emotional wellbeing and mental health on Google Assistant and Google Search over the past year, the Arabic version of Google Assistant will now respond to queries related to emotional wellbeing with coping mechanisms drafted by licensed therapists. In several of these responses Google Assistant will encourage people to seek expert advice when asked about feelings of worry and fear. This feature on Google Assistant is in response to an increase in interest in emotional wellbeing as shown by Google Trends data. To everyone who uses Google Assistant, I hope you find these responses which we worked on with licensed therapists helpful,” said Rola Najem, a writer on the Google Assistant personality team. The Arabic version of the Google Assistant understands all Arabic dialects and responds in modern standard Arabic.
