Ever wanted to reuse that old android phone you've got lying around as an always listening mic and let it trigger a Tasker task? Or wanted to shout something else to your phone than the same old "OK Google"?

Well then this is the plugin for you!
This app does need Tasker to work! (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm, this is a paid app with a 7 days free trial)

Visit https://snowboy.kitt.ai/ (NOTE Chrome doesn't work, Firefox does), train and download the voice models you like (preferably on the device where you will run this plugin). Then you can add them in the plugin and the fun can start!
Yes you can listen for as many hotwords at a time as you like and trigger a different task for each one.
NOTE that when the listening service is running, the mic will be blocked from other app. This ensures the best performance and speed, however if you want to use the mic in another app, you can simply disable and enable it from the notification (Oreo notification channels supported) or enable the setting that does this for you.
You can also control the state of the listening mode from within a task if you like, use the quick toggle, or quickly stop or start it using app shortcuts on your home screen.

To give you a taste of what's possible I already give you a few hotwords to play with, but since they are not trained to your phone's mic it's much advisable to train and download your own.

What makes this plugin so special is that it is powered by Snowboy. They built a C++ toolkit that is light-weight, offline, super fast and they included a website with a database where you can access a lot of hotwords that are already trained!
Since it's already compiled natively it only works for devices having an armv7a or armv8-aarch64 chip (I'm sorry for you guys having Intel chips).

To give you an idea of what you can do with it: I have an Nvidia SHIELD androidTV that has Google Assistant but no always listening support. So, I grabbed an old android phone, installed my plugin and whenever I say "Hey Google" it sends an adb command (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ADBPlugin) that starts Assistant!

Snowboy has shut down. However I am changing my review as the developer remade the site themself and has restored complete functionality of the app themself. My only request is to add your site into the app directly for easier access, otherwise absolutely phenomenal job!! You are a developer I look up to. Edit: I found an error I believe, I can get it to detect my hotword, and Tasker is setup to respond to it however it's like your app never tells Tasker the hotword was detected?

I'm on my brand new phone, a Moto g7, and this works about half the time. The delay is still far too long, about 10-30 seconds before Assistant actually opens up, and by then it says "Can't reach Google". it also keeps false starting constantly no matter what sensitivity and gain I set it to. I guess a custom wake word is just impossible. 5 stars simply because this app clearly isn't a scam like all the others, and you've been exceedingly helpful with troubleshooting.

So this app works just as promised. That's not to say there are no hiccups. Google assistant will not function if another app is using the microphone at the same time. The easy fix is to tell the app not use the microphone in the background of other apps also doing so. The only problem is you can't ask Google assistant follow-up questions and you can't trigger it from your home screen if you use the stock Google Now launcher. A solution would be the ability to disable when specific apps are open

Pixel 4xl, granted all permissions, turned on the mic listening, set the hotword to 'computer'; does not react when blocked / unblocked when app is sent to background or in foreground. Recorded my own hotword, still same effect. Cannot change the sensitivity of the word (when I increase it, it goes back to 50% - I press ok, the window closes and the setting it at 50%). The mic is enabled and the app is listening.

Its previous form had promise, but not reliable to use regularly. If this new version is half as good as the patch notes say, this could be very interesting. Looking forward to putting it through its paces.
Umesh Mahawar

Start Listening & Stop Listening aren't working from Launcher (as shown in screenshot 4). It says "Permission Denied". Also it gets randomally triggered sometimes when that word isn't called. Please fix. Great app btw. Keep it up. 🙂
Lennon Horrocks

Don't know if the app works. As soon as I went on the website to make a hot word, It looked insecure and I didn't feel safe on it. I would have loved to use this as I don't like having to say OK google (boring and unimaginative) and wanted to give the assistant a name.
Tiffany Tenicela

Voice assistant stopped responding after I downloaded/opened app. Couldn't get hot word to work. Edit: Just tried doing that, it still isn't working.
Jonathan Almog

Almost any sound triggers it. Lowering the sensetivity either completely shuts it down, or make it respond to almost any sound.

Amazing, how it works! I personally use a "code red" hotword that locks my phone,
