You May No Longer Need To Say 'Ok Google' or 'Hey Google' for Certain Commands

It should soon be possible for Google Assistant to execute certain recurring commands without having to say the famous “Ok Google” or “Hey Google.” Google’s Pixel smartphones will be the first to offer this new service. The idea is that certain regular actions no longer need to be launched by the traditional “OK Google” command. Eventually, many common commands such as turning on the light or playing music could be directly activated without the tedious “Hey Google” when they are recurring actions and Google Assistant chooses to highlight them. This kind of improvement of Google Assistant isn’t surprising, as a “Conversation” mode already allows users to launch a series of commands without having to systematically repeat “OK Google” before each of them.
