Action Blocks can be configured to do anything the Assistant do, in just one tap.  This is a physical way to touch the screen rather than using your voice to access Google Assistant.

Action Blocks can be used for people with learning difficulties, or may also be useful for anyone who could benefit from an easier way to perform routine actions on their device.
