Google develops new feature on voice commands

Google has been working on a new feature called ‘Guacamole’ for Google Assistant that would allow users to use the voice assistant without saying "Hey, Google."

It would let Google Assistant users perform quick voice tasks like answering calls or turning off alarms and timers without needing to say the trigger words, reports 9to5Google, a website that covers the latest in Google.

The Guacamole feature appears in the Google app beta 12.5 running Android 11, the reports said, under the main Assistant settings list.

Guacamole would let you simply say "stop," "snooze," "answer call" and "decline call" without needing to say "Hey, Google" first.

This feature is being currently tested among Google employees only.

There’s no word on when it will go live for all users but it will most likely see a reveal at the upcoming Google I/O event in May.
