let me ask you as a reader the question, would you not think it was cool to wake up your phone and instead of saying h e y Google you could say hey Alicia or hey Tommy and it wakes up your phone and responds to you you can already change the voice so that it sounds different so you could customize it if they want to make Google smarter and make it easier and more user friendly would it not make sense for us to customize and name it as a friend your phone is almost a necessity these days you can't there is no more payphone you want to be reached at all times you don't want to have to check your messages when you come home when you can get them on demand so your phone your device whatever device you use especially in Android user when we're speaking on Google would it not be awesome to do like the other series the other iOS systems where it says hey Siri or hey Lexus you know what I'm saying it gives it a name in personal life it makes it something that someone wants to use more so wouldn't it me a marketing tip and I do use this if Google does choose to do this I would like to sponsor that I'm saying would it not make sense and make Google a more preferred system over other systems Android devices will take a marketing leap because now you have something that the competition does not have you have a new feature that is a whole key to marketing so why would Google not choose to take an advantage now I think of that and it makes me wonder does Google know something that we don't that would be giving a artificial intelligence a sense of personality would that take a step in the Doomsday theory of the terminators and all that is that what they're fearing is it if they let us get too personal with these computers it will be it will grow too much of an of an intelligent I mean will it elevate the the AI to have its own personal identity food for thought

That's the longest sentence I've ever seen, except it didn't even end with a full stop. With speech to text you should be able to use phrases like "full stop" and "comma".

 

Adding different wake words is very easy as Alexa has 5 and even added a festive "Hey Santa", one year. But Google likes to keep their brand name always in your mind and on the top of your tongue.

With the right phone (Google Pixel) and Nest (Google Nest Hub Max) you don't always have to say "Hey Google" with Quick Phrases.
