In other words, thought the user gives multiple task for the Google assistance in a single command, the Google assistance is able to understand the complex command and breakdown into the individual commands, and performs as desired by the user.
For example,
User: ‘Hey Google’ lower the AC temperature to 18OC and turn on YouTube
Google Assistance: Sure, AC temperature has been lowered to 18OC and YouTube is turned on.
This is a complex task because, the Google assistance need to understand where to cut the command and which to take. If the Google assistance do not understand it properly, then it would not be possible to deliver such a perfection in delivering the task.
