Title is misleading. This isn't a new feature of Google Assistant; just a patent. The actual article title is a bit better, but still implies this is a feature we'll be seeing in the near future, which isn't necessarily the case.
- nitin_flanker 9y agoThis has happened previously as well that Google implemented a feature much before filing a patent for it. Google is not a company that waste their money on filing patents that they'll never implement. I thought mentioning that it is a patent will have little or no effect on whether this feature comes to reality or not. Edit: Original article title: "Google Assistant will use more than one device to decipher the exact voice commands"

- Ajedi32 9y ago> Edit: Original article title: "Google Assistant will use more than one device to decipher the exact voice commands" FYI, that's _still_ the article title; it hasn't changed. The HN post title is currently "Google Assistant now can use two devices at same time for a voice command", which is even more misleading to the point of being just flat-out wrong.
- FuturisticLover 9y agoThe patent tells about the new feature of Google assistant. And most of the time Google implement the technologies.
