While most of the announcements were targeted at developers, they also give us a glimpse of what consumers can expect from Google&#8217;s virtual assistant in the future.<\/p>\n<p>On the consumer side of things, most of the new features relate to improving the overall user experience in terms of continuity. Assistant can now save session information for multiple users on the same device; thus, it can now remember where you left the latest episode of&nbsp;<em>Billions<\/em>&nbsp;versus where your sibling did, even if you&#8217;re both using the same device.<\/p>\n<p>The same concept was also extended to multiple devices, as Assistant can now remember a user&#8217;s context across devices. This means that you could start listening to a podcast in the kitchen, and when you access Assistant a few hours later via the Nest in the bedroom, it&#8217;ll remember where you stopped and resume playback from there.<\/p>\n<p>A Continuous Matching Mode (CMM) can also allow developers to instruct Assistant to keep the device&#8217;s mic on for easier and more natural conversations. Assistant will always alert users when this is about to happen, though, so you can rest easy about your privacy. Google lists CoolGames&#8217; upcoming &#8220;Guess the Drawing&#8221; game as one example of how CMM can enable new experience on Assistant; with CMM, you can keep making guesses without having to prompt Assistant to turn the microphone on again and again.<\/p>\n<p>For developers, the most interesting of these&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/developers.googleblog.com\/2020\/06\/announcing-actions-builder-actions-sdk.html?m=1\">announcements<\/a>&nbsp;is likely going to be Action Builder, a web-based platform for developers to build out a conversation tree for Assistant Actions visually.
