FWIW, Microsoft also made an AI related announcement today about their new, OSS, cross platform machine leaning framework, ML.NET: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2018/05/07/introduci...

Just a tad less dramatic that a robotic telephone assistant, but still :)

Pretty sure that Google is advertising a service that you might pay for, whereas Microsoft is adding a new feature (in reality, many features) to an OS you already paid for.

Full disclosure, I work for Microsoft, this post doesn't reflect my employer in any official capacity, etc.

Take a look at their other keynote(s) yesterday. Much more impressive demos for developing consumer and Enterprise experiences. Today's keynote was about the windows and office platform specifically.
