Detecting the wake word is the first step of an Assist pipeline. It happens in Home Assistant, with the wake_word integration and an engine like openWakeWord, or on the device itself, like with microWakeWord on an ESP32 or an Android phone. Only after the wake word does the rest of the command get processed.
