Once I took my car in to get serviced and I walked up to the desk to check it in and the lady said, “good morning!” Then I said, “good morning!” Then my phone said, “good morning!”
I think it would probably be pretty easy to trigger just talking to people too. Stuff like “I’ll check on my computer to see what my email said.”

I think I’m going to use Computer G, like Slumlord Millionaire.
“Hey Google” gets triggered all the time on my phone without saying “hey”, and Google is a word that gets used a lot more than “computer” these days.

Yeah, that was a big reason too, thinking back on it.
