The Announcer plays a small part in Portal 2. He guides the player with pre-recorded messages through the facility early on in the game before initiating the first stalemate between GLaDOS and Wheatley.

It is an automated system created to monitor the Aperture lab complex prior GLaDOS, and lately left as a backup system to keep research going even during "circumstances of potentially apocalyptic significance". Designed to work in extreme and low power conditions, that system seems to have been automatically turned on as soon as GLaDOS was destroyed and lost control of the facility.
