My Mini is arriving today so obviously I want to get it set up ASAP. No problem for me, I've been using "OK Google" on my Pixel (and Samsung S5) for a while now. I read on the Google info page that the mini will recognize 4 voices. That's great. There are 4 of us in the house.
My questions is this - once I get it set up and trained, will it work without me (and my phone) being in the house? I get that if you want to use it for calling it would be linked to an account somehow (we don't have GV here in Canada) so it would use Google Hangouts dialer.
If I'm here at work and my wife asks it a question or wants it to send music to our Chromecast, will it work? If we are out, and my daughter asks it for the weather, will Google Assistant tell her?
