Google Home can now handle three queries at once

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
In November, Google Home gained the ability to multitask with added support for a feature called &multiple queries,& which allows you to
combine two requests into one voice command
For example, &OK Google, turn up the volume and play music.& Now, Google Home is getting even smarter about multitasking by enabling support
three requests at once. The new feature was announced on Google @madebyGoogle Twitter account on Monday, where users quickly discovered its
limitations
Unfortunately for Google global customer base, multiple queries is only available in the English language for the time being, in the United
States , U.K., Canada and Australia. You&re not the only one who can multitask
Now Google Home can perform up to three queries at a time, so you can get more done

&and& in between them, to separate the different requests
Each command must also be the sort of thing Google Assistant can respond to on its own without further input or clarification. That means
you can''t ask it to just &set an alarm,& you&d have to say &set an alarm for 7 AM& so it doesn''t need to ask a follow-up
question. Multiple queries was first rolled out in November 2017, also with little fanfare. But it not the only way Google Home can
multitask
In February, Google Assistant gained support for Routines, as well, which allow you to create custom workflows kicked off with a single
voice command. For instance, your &I&m home& routine could turn on the lights, adjust the thermostat and play some music
(Alexa also offers routines, as of last October.) Meanwhile, at Google I/O developer conference in May, the company formally announced
multiple queries for Google Home (then referred to as &Multiple Actions&), along with a host of other upgrades for Google Home Actions
This included Routine Suggestions, which allow voice app developers to prompt users to add their app Action to a Routine, plus Action
Notifications, which allows voice apps to alert users to new features and content, and more. We appreciate the feedback
This feature is supported in the US, UK, Canada and Australia using the English language. mdash; Made by Google (@madebygoogle) June 12,
2018 Google is not providing an ETA on when multiple queries will roll out to non-English users, saying only that:We look forward to
supporting additional languages, but have nothing to announce at this time. h/t: Voicebot
