What is Google Assistant Ambient Mode?
To get you started, you can say that Google Assistant's ambient mode is an embedded feature on Android phones that take your lock screens while charging your phone. The idea is for users to see if they have a notification without too much hassle when the phone is not charging.

You usually keep your phone separate when the battery is depleted. Now, you don't want to use it, but you don't want any notifications as well. In ambient mode, you'll get notifications from all those apps without having to open your lock screen or flash your screen saver. The ambient mode screen will remain quiet and display an icon for applications whose notification is on your phone. You can check if there is anything important. All you have to do is unlock your phone. Another feature offers users to manage Google Home devices directly from your Ambient Mode lock-screen, which gives you an easy way to control your home appliances.

This way, you can allow your phone to charge continuously without using it, and you won't miss any relevant text or task notifications on your phone.
