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.

The OnePlus 6T is the biggest launch yet for the one-time underdog out of China. After years of selling their phones directly and unlocked, OnePlus has now found a carrier partner (T-Mobile) and also opened up their phone to usage on Verizon's network here in the US. So even though the hardware isn't a massive upgrade over the OnePlus 6, which was released only a few months ago, the reach for the OnePlus 6T is a big, big deal. But we're not necessarily here to talk about how big some carrier deals and connectivity are for OnePlus. We're here to tell you if the OnePlus 6T is the phone you should buy.

After the collaboration with Disney that led to the birth of the OnePlus 6T Avengers Edition, the company of Pete Lau and Carl Pei have announced a new collaboration. This time with a well-known brand of sports cars and giant of Formula 1: McLaren. A OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition is coming, what should we expect? Have you ever heard of OSIRIS? Choose "Yes, I have!" or "Never heard of it.". Oops! Seems like something went wrong. Reloading might help. Yes, I have! Oops! Seems like something went wrong. Reloading might help. Never heard of it. Not much, actually. From past experience, we can imagine the new limited edition OnePlus 6T as a simple new color variant. As with OnePlus 6 Avengers Edition and OnePlus 5T Star Wars, I'm sure it's nothing more than a new finish for the device's body without any special changes to the specifications. The collaboration between ...

Supporting the military community for whatever’s next

In August 2018, Google made a commitment to veterans, military spouses, and service members transitioning to civilian careers. At that time, we announced a job search experience that uses military occupational specialty codes to connect service members and veterans with open jobs that call for skills developed during their time in service. In the months since, we've continued our work to make it even more useful for those who are searching for civilian jobs and the amazing people who support and guide them. People like Kristen Rheinlander, who works as the Transition Site Manager of the USO Pathfinder Program at Fort Hood, Texas. A self-described Army brat whose father served in the military for 25 years, Kristen came to the USO as a volunteer 4 years ago. Today, she heads up a team that works with service members and their families as they prepare for a new challenge: figuring out what comes next. Every new challenge has a first step, and for Kristen, it starts with ...
