What's coming in future?

• use Node.js gRPC bindings so we don't have to use assistant.py running separately
• Local Command support - Create a dictionary of commands that can be processed locally. If a command can be processed locally don't send it to cloud.
• Integration with other modules (via Socket Notifications)
• Integration with Api.ai to parse local commands in natural language.
• Show/Hide modules based on the user query context e.g - Ok, google how's the weather today? Google Assistant answers the weather and MagicMirror brings up a detailed weather module
