OK Google is your google voice assistant. Whenever you say "Ok, Google" that means that you are ready to put in a voice command, so it launches. You can ask everything you can check on your phone, on the phone or on the web through your speech.
Hey guys, I’m super excited to present you my new product! 🙂
I love everything that's made by Google, but especially their voice assistant. If you didn't know, you can use it on Android and iOS, just click on the microphone icon in the Google app.
I was annoyed by the fact that every once in a while a new "complete list of Google Now commands" appears online, so I decided to create this project. After few days of research I found an extensive list of over 150 commands and 1000+ variations.
I'll try to keep it up to date, and in v2 I'll add an easy way for the community to contribute. The project will be open sourced soon, but feel free to report any bugs or issues on GitHub right now. If I have missed some commands just write a comment here or ping me on twitter @thekitze.
I would love some feedback on this and if you have some questions ask away!
@cyberneticdave probably because they want to market it as a "smart assistant you can ask literally anything, ever" instead of limiting their list to ~150 commands :)
Report
@thekitze fair point, it's nice to know which commands will do more than just perform a search, though!
Report
This is very well done @thekitze! I end up throwing anything and everything to OK Google and most of the times it seems to do something functionally correct. Any thoughts on highlighting the 'popular' or most frequently used ones within that massive list?
Last week I caught up with @matthartman to chat about a number of things, including how difficult it is to inform and update users on new ways of interacting with voice-enabled interfaces like Google Now, Siri, Alexa, etc. Love this idea but in a perfect world voice commands wouldn't be so "hidden".
@rrhoover@matthartman This is just version 0.1. I have many ideas for improvements of the app, including a native Android app that will "train" and navigate users in a fun and interactive way through the commands :)
Flawlessly executed, @thekitze, right down to the Google-approved material design. I love that you're open sourcing this too. I so badly want to use voice commands to interact with it. Great work.
I believe the reason for them to not provide a list of commands is that they want people to see OK Google as real assistant, to who we can talk to.
And it eventually it will. But they should at least provide more examples of how we can make use of OK Google to help us, and this list actually does that job well.
Thanks!
