Trying to get the Assistant to reply to action requests with a one-word response. I.E. “Hey Google, set a timer for 10 mins.”
 
Desired response: “okay”
Actual response: “okay. I’ve set a time for 10 minutes.” 
 
“Google stop the alarm”
 
Desired response: *stops alarm
Actual response: “okay, I’ve stopped any alarms ringing on all your smart home devices”

Hi Adam Monteilh,

 

Thanks for your comments. Unfortunately at this time, the Google Assistant's phrases cannot be shortened.

 

Rest assured that we're always open for ways to improve, so we'll take this as feedback and pass it along to the team. We encourage you to do the same by using your own device or Google Home app and following the steps here

 

Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Thanks.
