Can i use Google Now to start a Messenger or Skype call? Biggest problem with Android for me is that i can't (or don't know how) to do that like i do on iOS. Call [insert name] on FaceTime audio.

Any suggestions?

Android already supports this via native apps but like iOS it does not support third party. That feature is coming with 6.0 if I understood the event correctly; or maybe its just a matter of the search app update.

As an example, I can tell it to start a hangouts video or call to xx and it will do just that.

No one i know uses hangouts.
 
Works with Google Hangouts. Don't see why it wouldn't work with Google Messenger.
