(We're still not sure how users are supposed to discover and remember these new capabilities.) Advertisement These new commands will magically, silently work on your Google Home starting right now. You can see how this works with the two new developer demo commands, “talk to Number Genie”-a number guessing game-and “talk to Eliza"-an old chatbot experiment from the '60s. Apparently the third-party commands are enabled centrally in the cloud, by Google, which are then accessible on all Assistant devices. Users won't be able to actually "install" these new actions on their devices. Google's blog post says it will "continue to add more platform capabilities over time, including the ability to make your integrations available across the various Assistant surfaces like Pixel phones and Google Allo." Sure enough this "Actions on Google" API is only launching on one of the interfaces: Google Home. They are all slightly different implementations of the same idea, with some commands working in some interfaces and not others. While the branding "Assistant" suggests they are all the same system, we found out in our various reviews that they definitely are not.
