Chandra called his mom from the stage to demonstrate Google Home's new hands-free calling. All you have to say is, "Hey Google, call mom," or whomever you'd like to ring on cell and landlines throughout the U.S. and Canada. The new calling feature is rolling out in the next few months, Chandra said.。

The final big reveal was visual responses. Currently Google Home offers auditory assistance, like telling you what's next on your calendar. Now with visual responses, you can ask Google what's next on your schedule and directions to your event will come up on your phone or whichever device you want. 。
Through Chromecast, Google Home can display things on your TV screen — such as the weather or a YouTube clip. You can even ask Google Assistant to turn off your TV. No remotes or hands required. 。
