Sent this around a SMS company I worked for a while back. Cool stuff!

Ok Google. When can I customize your activation phrase like on Moto X?

I also wish Google would allow some kind of intent resolution based on, say, regex matching of the voice recognition result. I want to be able to register phrases like "OK Google, turn on the lights" or "OK Google, set the temperature to 25 degrees" and allow my app to handle them (and yes I do actually have all my lights, thermostats, etc. controllable from my phone)

My wife's Highlander Hybrid has a remote start, and I would love to be able to say "Ok Google, start the car" [+].

[+] The vehicle has a GSM adapter to allow us to start the car both through an iOS app, and a python script I wrote against their private API.

I think Tasker and AutoVoice would work [1].

A similar thing was done with Siri and a garage door a while ago: http://delian.io/siri-open-the-garage

It's curious that in both cases you actually have to create a special app to enable any custom behavior from your phone. It would be nice if there were a bit more extensibility in these automated assistant/search/whatever thingies.

Yep this is kind of unfortunate; it's only because Google Now only resolves strings of the form "open {appname}" and doesn't provide a way (that I know of at least) to register arbitrary phrases.

All we need now is the (trivial) hardware to actually open the door.

Trivial, is it? Perhaps you should be helping out Lockitron.
