"Google Assistant's Ambient Mode is a new visual overview that makes it easier to see notifications and reminders, start a playlist and control smart home devices on the lockscreen of your device. When you are done, your screen will turn into a personal digital photo frame linked to your Google Photos account to add another personal touch," Chris Turkstra, Product Management Director, Google Assistant, wrote in a blog post on Thursday.

Google revealed that Assistant can now start hands-free audio and video calls from within compatible apps, with WhatsApp to start.
