"Always On" is not available on all devices, you using a Moto X phone by chance? In my case it is "From any screen" - Works when the screen is on or the device is charging.

By not hands-free, I also meant that I need to remove the phone from my pocket, where it usually resides, vs. just calling out to the Amazon Echo, (if it's nearby). Also there is a hit on battery life associated with "Always on" which might not be worth the tradeoff.
On the other hand, I have my old GS4 permanently plugged in on my desk, constantly showing the feed from my security cameras. It responds nicely to OK Google.
My Other web server is Dropbox.

Nexus 6P. I think this also works via the Moto360 at any time, haven't really tried it though.
