The Google I/O conference starts tomorrow, with the keynote scheduled for 1:00 PM EST. We are likely to learn about Android O and changes to Google Assistant, along perhaps with some news about ChromeOS. 

I hope that Google is going to make changes to Assistant that makes it more useful across Home, phone, and watch. What I find frustrating are those times when I have my phone in hand, say "Ok Google" and have Home take over, when I really want assistant on my phone. 

Why does it matter? Because Assistant does different things on each device. For example, Assistant on my phone can create an event on my calendar while assistant on home cannot, and that is a problem. 

Another thing I find frustrating is the inability to transfer information between devices. For example, if I initiate a search with Home, wouldn't it be cool to say, "Ok Google, send that to my phone" and have that web page open in Chrome on my phone?

The point being that if Google is going to put Assistant on all these devices it needs to work seamlessly and consistently across those devices. It shouldn't matter from which device Assistant hears me, it should take the same action.
