Google Launches 'Continued Conversation' to Make Voice Interactions More Natural

Google took a step toward making voice assistant interaction more natural, enabling Google Assistant to respond to several requests during an interaction without a user having to repeat, “Hey, Google." For Google Assistant to have a natural conversation, "it should be able to understand when it’s being spoken to and should be capable of responding to several requests during an interaction,” blogged Jaclyn Konzelmann, Google Assistant product manager. Continued Conversation launched Thursday on Google Home, Home Mini and Home Max speakers. Users can turn on the feature in the Google Assistant app.
