Google Assistant gets conversational, will soon listen for consecutive requests

-
...

At IO today, Google announced that Assistant on Google Home will soon be able to hold a conversation and respond to multiple requests without a user having to repeat "Okay Google" each time. The feature is similar to 'Follow-up mode' on Alexa, which became available a couple of months ago.

Assistant had already been updated last year to support multiple commands, so users can issue request like "Hey Google, turn on the TV and give me the weather forecast," instead of having to issue them separately. Conversational mode is a step beyond that, allowing for a much more fluid back-and-forth chat between a user and Assistant. It also seems to be smarter with understanding multiple requests, so it can understand a command like "turn on the lights in the living room and the kitchen," whereas previously you had to repeat the command more explicitly and say "turn on the lights in the living room and turn on the lights in the kitchen."

Support for continued conversation will be coming to Google Assistant over the coming weeks.

If you thought the Pixel 2 and 2 XL were expensive, you probably weren't very happy when you saw the Pixel 3's $799 and Pixel 3 XL's $899 MSRPs. The Pixel 3 XL received a modest $50 jump in price from the 2 XL, but the Pixel 3 went up by a whopping $150 when compared to the Pixel 2. In other words, those who've purchased a new Pixel, regardless of the model, are probably going to want to protect it. Like last year's , this roundup will feature a wide variety of cases from several different manufacturers. For each case, we'll start off with some pros and cons and finish with a verdict on whether or not it should be considered.
