Understanding your request
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
If you interact with Assistant by voice, our speech recognition technology
converts your request to text. Next, Assistant analyzes the text, in combination
with useful information such as recent requests or the type of device you are
using, to identify possible interpretations.
For example, if you say "Hey Google, stop," you might want to stop one of two
timers that are running, music that’s playing, or a routine that’s running. You
might also want to see search results for “Stop,” or something else entirely.
To weigh the options, Assistant compiles a list of the different interpretations
of your request and how it would respond to each one. The next step is to rank
these options to find the best way to fulfill your request.
