   On a Pixel phone with with an associated google account, it can be done.   
      
   To be totally handsfree the phone must be unlocked (e.g. it's kept   
   unlocked by geolocation, or detecting a nominated bluetooth device) just   
   enable the "hey google" assistant wake-word in settings.   
      
   It will wake-up, launch gemini and answer a voice question with a voice   
   answer (plus a transcript on screen), if it recognises it as a command   
   rather than a question, it will pass it to google assistant instead of   
   gemini.   
      
   I believe this applies to [some?] Samsung phones as well as Google phones.   
      
   But I don't normally have "hey google" enabled on my phone.
