Here are some top AI voice assistants you can use today. Each has its own strengths and features.
Summary AI
Summary AI is an AI meeting assistant. You can also ask it follow-up questions about what was said during the meeting to get information.
It’s not a typical voice assistant, but it joins your online meetings on Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and listens to your conversations to transcribe them and give you perfect summaries.
You can even turn on live translations and get captions for 120+ languages. It records, transcribes, and summarizes everything for you. After the meeting, it gives you a clear summary of key points and action items.
Features:
Summary AI connects via your calendar and joins meetings you allow it to.
Transcripts & summaries: It delivers accurate transcripts with speaker labels, and creates concise AI-generated notes.
Action items: It highlights tasks and who’s responsible for each, so nothing is forgotten.
Translations: Instantly translate meeting transcripts into 120+ languages.
Easy sharing: Copy or share the summary with team members automatically via email.
Invite Summary AI’s Meeting Assistant to your business meeting and just focus on the conversation. The software will transcribe and summarize for you. Afterward, you get an organized summary with key points and to-do’s highlighted. Summary AI is useful because it saves time and ensures no one has to take notes manually. You can concentrate on talking or listening, knowing that Summary AI will capture everything.
Google Gemini
Google Gemini is built into Android phones and all Google products.
It’s powered by Gemini AI, making it more conversational. Google Assistant can answer your questions and do tasks when you wake it up with the phrase “Hey Google.”
Features:
Daily tasks: Set timers, reminders, alarms, or add items to shopping lists (e.g., “Set an alarm for 7 AM”).
Communication: Make calls or send texts without typing (“Call Mom” or “Text John ‘On my way’”).
Info and web search: Check the weather or traffic (“Will it rain tomorrow?”).
Entertainment: Play music or podcasts on services like Spotify or YouTube (“Play jazz music on Spotify”).
Smart home: Control lights, thermostat, and other devices (“Dim the bedroom lights,” “Make the temperature 75 degrees”).
With Gemini, you can have more detailed conversations. Gemini can explain topics, brainstorm ideas, and follow-up without repeating the wake word.
On your device, just say “Hey Google” and give your command. Google Assistant is great for quick answers, help with everyday tasks, and managing smart devices. It uses Google’s search engine knowledge, so it knows a lot.
It’s useful because it is integrated with other Google services like Calendar, Maps, and Translate. It’s available in many languages and it can learn your preferences. For more details on how Google’s new AI compares to the old assistant, see our Gemini vs Google Assistant guide.
Siri (Apple Intelligence)
Siri is Apple’s voice assistant built into iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple Watch.
Just say “Hey Siri” (or hold a button) to start. In 2026, Siri uses Apple Intelligence features for better answers.
Features:
- Everyday tasks: Send messages, place calls, set timers or reminders by voice (“Hey Siri, text Sam ‘I’m on my way’” or “Remind me to water the plants when I get home”).
- On the go: Use Siri in the car with CarPlay to get directions or make calls without taking your eyes off the road.
- Home: Control smart devices lights and locks, or use Siri as an intercom between spaces in your house.
- Request info: Ask for weather, sports scores, or the latest news. You can follow up without saying “Hey Siri” again after the first command.

On any Apple device, you can just speak to Siri. It integrates with iPhone features and you can even use it to find your parked car or call people.
Siri is useful because it works smoothly with Apple’s products like Messages and Calendar. It’s designed for quick tasks and has privacy by doing much processing on the device. It even lets you make multiple requests in a row. This is great for people who use a lot of Apple products.
