Google is making it easier to have a conversation with your Assistant

The Google Assistant has been the star of the past few I/O developer conferences, so we're not surprised to see new features being announced today. One of the biggest is "continued conversation" -- essentially, you won't need to say "Hey Google" every single time you want to ask the Assistant a question. In a demo, Google showed someone asking what the score of the last Golden State Warriors game. From there, he was able to follow up and say "when are they playing next" without having to say "hey Google" again to activate it. In the same vein, Google also talked about "multiple actions," which lets you ask more than one question or do more than one thing at once. For example, you could say "tell me the weather in New York City and San Francisco" or "turn off my lights and turn on the popcorn maker."
