Currently, you cannot change the wake word 'Hey Google' to 'Jarvis' or any other custom name on Google Assistant devices. The device's settings don't support this feature. Users must use the default wake words provided by Google, such as 'Hey Google' or 'OK Google.' This limitation is in place to ensure consistency and reliability in voice recognition across various devices and software versions. For those seeking a customizable experience, exploring third-party apps or devices that offer more flexibility might be an alternative.
