Can I say how much I hate saying, "OK, Google"? I feel like I'm gargling. Google needs to name its assistant something that comes much more trippingly off the tongue, as do Siri and Alexa.

I use the Google Assistant on my phone all the time. I have an Echo and I have a number of requests for Alexa every day. I also occasionally use Cortana on my laptop, but not more than once every week or two.

My phone has OK Google but I never use it. For some reason I feel silly talking to an inanimate device. |

They have started adding hey google as the start command which is way better though personally I have set text as the main input for my phones and tablets for google now. I dont like talking to people much why the hell would I want to talk to inanimate device.
