This week, Google announced that they are aiming to make Google Assistant as user-friendly as possible. "After you initially trigger the Assistant with a request, the Assistant will stay active for long enough to respond to follow up questions, so you don't have to say, 'Hey Google' as often," said Bibo Xu, Google Assistant product manager.
Google is also taking the opportunity to add other enhancements such as "interpreter mode" which can make it easier for you to talk to family members, friends and even strangers who speak a different language as it serves as your interpreter.
Improvements such as making it easier to remove some cards on your display's home screen when you no longer need them and making it easier to manage multi-room audio with the displays are all in the works.
Google Assistant also features Continued Conversation wherein you can talk to the assistant without having to begin every command or request. These kinds of features and interaction can help make Google Assistant the best smart speaker in the market.Just like Amazon's Alexa and Apple's Siri, Google Assistant is voice-powered and can perform a series of tasks.
