Developers will now be able to write apps in Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Indian English.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"e-image\"><span class=\"e-image__inner\"><span class=\"e-image__image \" data-original=\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/9687217\/image1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-dynamic-image  lazy-image lazy-loaded\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/5MK2W88lptVdbUoOs3dR3bDa9vo=\/1200x0\/filters:no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/9687217\/image1.png\" alt=\"\" data-chorus-optimize-field=\"main_image\" data-cid=\"site\/dynamic_size_image-1510781898_8601_10354\" data-cdata=\"{&quot;asset_id&quot;:9687217,&quot;ratio&quot;:&quot;*&quot;}\" \/><\/span><\/span><\/figure>\n<p id=\"HUCLiD\">Another major update is the ability for developers to create applications that take advantage of having both a Google Home and a phone with Assistant, allowing Home devices to hand off requests to smartphones for completion of actions (like, say, paying for a sandwich you ordered on your Home). Google will also allow apps to recognize implicit requests, so that you don\u2019t have to specifically call them out by name. It\u2019s the difference between saying \u201cturn off the lights\u201d and \u201chave the Philips Hue app turn off the lights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"KJjXPi\">Lastly, Google is making it easier for users to find new apps for Assistant. Instead of the hodgepodge of apps that are presented now, the Assistant companion app is getting \u201cWhat&#8217;s new\u201d and \u201cWhat&#8217;s trending\u201d sections to help surface recent and popular integrations.<\/p>\n<p id=\"gAanyz\">In other Assistant-related news\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2017\/11\/15\/nexus-player-upgrade-google-assistant\/\"><em>9to5Google<\/em>\u00a0is reporting<\/a>\u00a0it seems that Google has quietly updated the Nexus Player \u2014\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2014\/11\/3\/7149505\/google-nexus-player-review\">the original Android TV device, released in 2014<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 with support for Google Assistant, too.
