You can use Hotword Changer to access your Assistant (Your default assist app or whatever opens when you long-press the home button) with different hotwords.

Hotword Changer lets you use voice wake-up feature even when the screen is turned off.

By default, Hotword Changer will recognize you when you say like "Jarvis" etc. whenever the screen is on or your device is charging.

However, you can run it when the screen is off but comes at the cost of increased battery usage!
(Not recommended)

Unless specified otherwise, you should turn it off after showing off in front of others!
It ain't perfect yet & I ain't done yet!

There are only four hotwords available right now but support for custom hotword will be available soon.
