Google Assistant lets you choose preferred method of transportation for better directions and commute times
Google Assistant is smart enough to know a lot of things about you, but it doesn’t know everything. Sometimes it needs a little help to be the best possible virtual assistant it can be. For instance when navigating, Assistant can better serve you information about your commute times but first it needs to know how you get around.
Finding directions is a popular use for Google Assistant, but what if you aren't driving? Or, what if you only drive sometimes, but your commute involves walking or biking? Google Assistant allows users to set their preferred method of travel. With a preference(Menu button > Settings > Preferences) set, Google Assistant will default to this method when travel times are searched for. Google Assistant can accommodate this situation with "Getting around."
With the "Getting around" options, you can tell Assistant how you commute to work and how you get around generally. The choices include walking, public transit, biking, and driving. You can have different settings for your commute and general directions. Google asks how you get to work, and how you generally get around to other places. So if you walk to work, but usually drive a car to get to other places, then Google Assistant will know which travel method to select.
After setting that, you can ask for directions via Assistant and it will provide your preferred type.

"Hey Google" Hot World Now Available on Phones #GoogleAssistant #Android #HeyGoogle #OKGoogle
Since its release last year, Google Home has always responded to two hot words: “OK Google” or “Hey Google”. On phones, however, it has been “OK Google” since Google Assistant began rolling out to a broader set of devices. That now appears to be…

By requiring introductory words(“hey or ok Google”) as triggers, Google has forced an element of conversation - insight from a perspective of User Experience Designer, Johna Paolino.
Two Simple User Experience Design Gestures that Delighted a Female User.
I felt very unsettled and found myself constantly agitated as I observed my boyfriend bark commands at this black cylinder.
Alexa, turn off the lights. Alexa, set my alarm for 8am
This declarative speech was so incongruous with how he interacts with me, with how he interacts with any human.
Ok Google, play NPR news. Hey Google, set my alarm for 8am.
Why did these interactions suddenly feel so natural? They felt appropriate. In fact, I was delighted by my new Google Home.
Although product features differ slightly, the root cause of my emotional shift had nothing to do with these capabilities. All the feelings I had for Alexa came down to two simplistic user experience design differences.
Was there a need to rename the voice component of these products? Why isn’t it Echo or Amazon? Why not Apple? By doing this, we’ve subconsciously constrained the capabilities of a female. With the Echo, we’ve even gone as far as to confine her to a home. The experience difference here is huge! When I return to Alexa now I feel authoritative.
The voice component of the Google Home however is simply triggered with “Google”. Google, a multinational, first-of-its-kind technology company. Suddenly a female’s voice represents a lot more. This made me happy.
The advancement of feminism requires awareness from both genders. It isn’t isolated to how men treat women, but extends to how women treat each other. I am constantly making an effort to change my behaviors towards other women, and in this effort certainly prefer how I am asked to greet Google. Thank you Google for paying closer attention to the details, and to the female users.
P.s. If you've kids, give it a thought, what these interactions with digital assistants would teach them, how to ask for something. Little things like these, that you don’t even see, can make such a huge difference, as they grow up.

How to Optimize for Google Home NOW #OKGoogle
How to Optimize for Google Home NOW #OKGoogle was originally published on BruceClay.com, home of expert search engine optimization tips.
Google's recent debut of Google Home — and the impact it will have on search — has kept my mind reeling all week. I haven't been able to shake this sense that we are on the cusp of a real change in the way that people interact with technology. (It's also one step closer to the Star Trek computer Amit Singhal wants to make reality.)
Find out how Google Home will deeply impact our interaction with search engine results pages (SERPs) and, subsequently, digital marketing strategy.
