Google Assistant iOS Update Lets You Say 'Hey Siri, OK Google' (techcrunch.com)
The Google Assistant app on iOS has been updated to allow you to launch it on your iPhone by saying "Hey Siri, OK Google." As TechCrunch notes, you will need to open the app to set up a new Siri Shortcut for the Google Assistant in order for this to work. From the report: As the name suggests, Siri Shortcuts lets you record custom phrases to launch specific apps or features. By default, Google suggests the phrase "OK Google." You can choose something shorter, or "Hey Google," for instance. After setting that up, you can summon Siri and use this custom phrase to launch Google's app. You may need to unlock your iPhone or iPad to let iOS open the app. The Google Assistant app then automatically listens to your query. Again, you need to pause and wait for the app to appear before saying your query.
Fuck you! Have it TWEET that to Trump!
...how about you go fuck yourself. And take Google with you.
You are welcome on my lawn.
IOS.
Then I'd use the same activation phrase and let them fight it out to see which one wins.
The command is Siri Alexa HeyGoogle! Search this right now or I will send you to your room!
I find the Google Assistant very under powered. You can have it set a reminder for you, but then you can't go back to that reminder and alter it. You can ask it to dial a number, but then you can't have it enter the PIN if you are calling into a conference number. etc etc
Laws are rules for the court, but merely a bottom bar to hit for life. Think beyond laws in your actions always.
See subject: I'm so sick & tired of /. BULLIES. You shitweasels have nothing better to do than HARASS, STALK & IMPERSONATE little ol' me. I've done absolutely NOTHING wrong & just try to make everyone's lives better w/ my work that stops ads & malware.
* As soon as I post, I'm CENSORED to -1 w/ ABUSED downmodpoints by bullies like ZIP, who even admits to this. I caught c6gunner mocking then IMPERSONATING me when he forgot to log out. Zontar mailed me a postcard w/ THREATS on it, then LIES & STALKS me. All because you JEALOUS JOWIE "ne'er-do-wells" KNOW I'm World-Class & you're shit. It's why you hide behind FAKE names & UNIDENTIFIABLE ANONYMOUS. You wish you were me & that's why you IMPERSONATE & ATTACK me.
I'm even improving my already GREAT PHYSIQUE & SUPERIOR INTELLECT while you weezils sit around all day on /. STALKING & HARASSING your BETTERS. I repeatedly dust the no-mind bullshit blatherings you BULLIES post to attack me. Like always I WIN & YOU LOSE.
APK
P.S.=> This BULLYING of me is SO UNFAIR & I've done nothing to deserve it from you people. I'm tired of CASTING PEARLS before SWINE with my work that you CAN'T do better than. GROW UP... apk
NOBODY is going to do this because youâ(TM)ll want to punch your own face just having to utter that stupid ass phrase. Source: I set up the Alexa app with XBox so I could say- âoeAlexa tell Xbox to start Plexâ. I did it exactly one time.
It's only logical.
hey siri, tell google to go fuck alexa and cortana, and send me the video.
Thank God this is only for iOS. And Google did finally find my damn phone!
... won't make you feel like an idiot. Not at all.
Hey Siri, tell Google that Alexia really like Cortana!

We need to go deeper. Google should implement Alexa integration as well. All voice commands will then start with "Hey Siri, OK Google, Alexa".
Hey Siri ok google ask Siri
Say I have several of these assistants. At the extreme end, let's say I have an Alexa, Google Home, Portal, and an iPhone. I prefer to work through Alexa, but she can't handle everything, like setting an alarm on my phone (or maybe she can. i don't know. i don't own any of these.)
Why can't I just always ask Alexa for everything, and she would "silently" ask one of the other assistants to, um, assist, when they are the better one to ask? Like, "Alexa, what do my friends think of this restaurant?" She goes beep-boop-beep for a second, asking Google to do a few searches, or checking Facebook for recent recommendations, and then decides that making a new post on Facebook is the best option (actually, it isn't, but whatever) so she asks Portal to make a post on my behalf.
These assistants are sometimes useful ("Hey Google, my fingers were cut off. Call 911!") but usually are just a gimmick and require too much thinking to be actually helpful.
I'm still waiting until I can have it answer to "Hey Wiretap...."
Go on, citizen, stamp the vote card. R or D, your choice.
Hey Siri, OK google, what's up Alexa, how's it hanging Cordana, and howdy doody to the rest of 'ya.
Does anyone even use the goddamn voice assistants?
If you gave me a choice between a printer and a giraffe with explosive diarrhoea, i'll get my ladder and my raincoat
Oddly enough, I am *already* capable of saying that.
I'm pretty sure that I've been able to say that since I was 4 years old.
And saying 'Hey Siri, OK Google' then would have been just as useful as saying it now.
...omphaloskepsis often...
Hey Siri, OK Google, Expialidocious.
"Flyin' in just a sweet place,
Never been known to fail..."
