Assistant-powered smart displays are getting some new features as well. Of course, these are also smart speakers that will get all of the new audio and voice features. In addition, these devices will soon have a new suggested card on the home screen for recipes. The suggestions will be time appropriate, so you'll get breakfast food in the morning and larger meals in the evening. You can save any recipes you like to your personal cookbook to pull up later. The Assistant Home View interface for managing smart home hardware is also gaining support for Roku boxes, Harmony remotes, and more.
Finally, Google has tied the official Google clock app into Assistant routines. After dismissing an alarm, you can trigger a custom routine. For example, you can turn on the coffee maker, have your Google Home read the news, or get a weather forecast. These routines are managed from the clock app, which will need an update before you can plug into Assistant. Most of the other features will just appear on your Assistant devices in the coming days or weeks.
