Use Tasker with "OK Google" on Nexus 5

OK guys, I have searched and searched but cannot find an answer to this question.

I want to link the "OK Google" phrase that starts a Google Now search on the Nexus 5 to Tasker, or more specifically the AutoVoice plugin for Tasker.

I can attach the swipe up from the bottom to use AutoVoice rather than Google Now , but I cannot figure out how to make the phrase "OK Google" use AutoVoice.

I read that on the Moto X you can use Tasker to watch for the "Touchless Control" App to become active, and then kill it and start AutoVoice. But the Nexus 5 doesn't have the Touchless Control App, In fact I don't know what process or App is actually listening for the "OK Google" phrase on the Nexus 5.

Can anyone shed any light on how I might make this work.

Thanks in advance
 
Utter is definitely very slick, and phenomenally capable.

While you're at it, check out his recently-released Memotion emotional analysis voice recorder app thing. It can listen to your voice and determine your emotional state. As an added bonus, If you are a user of utter! then it will receive the emotion analysis and become the first ‘Virtual Assistant’ to have the context of its user’s emotional psyche! The future is coming...
