Do people use Assistant for more than just reminders, weather, and directions? Lol Just curious because that's all I use it for.
"set a timer for X minutes" And "set an alarm for X AM" are super helpful
I've tried one extra layer of complexity - "Remind me to water the plants when I get home" or something like that. It has no idea what I'm asking it to do despite knowing the "remind me" phrase and knowing where my home is.
I was recently pleasantly surprised that this actually works with Siri, the former dunce child of mobile assistants. Stuff like “Remind me about X when I get in the car” also works now, so the reminder goes off when you connect to Carplay.
