Here's everything Google Assistant can do on the Pixel

OK Google, let’s see what you can do.

While currently in its infancy, Google Assistant is still capable of doing a lot of pretty cool things to make life that much easier.

From helping to book reservations and find transportation for your night out to setting your morning alarm without having to stare at a bright screen in a dark room, here’s just some of the ways to use Google Assistant throughout your day. And it all starts by saying “OK Google”.

Music

Reminders

Alarms and timers

News and weather

Sports

Music

You can use Google Assistant to find and play music, but app support is pretty limited at this point. By default, Google Assistant will try to fulfill your requests using Google Play Music and YouTube. If you search for a specific song or artist, such as “Play Can’t Stop by the Red Hot Chili Peppers”, your request will be completed with YouTube. If you request a genre, such as “Play hip hop music”, Google Assistant will find a relevant Google Play Music radio station. Alternatively, you can simply say “Play music” to have Google Assistant pull up the I’m Feeling Lucky station in Google Play Music.

Pandora and Spotify are already supported by Google Assistant, you’ll just have to include the third-party app in your request. If you use another third-party app for music, you can ask the Assistant to open the app, but from there you’ll have to get the party started with some old-fashioned on-screen input.

Reminders

Google Assistant can be used to create quick reminders for yourself. Depending on your request, Google Assistant will create a time-based or location based reminders. For example, if you ask “Remind me to take out the garbage when I’m leaving the house”, you’ll get the option of creating that reminder based on time of day (morning, afternoon or evening) or based on your GPS location —

Google will ping your saved locations, such as your home or work).

Google will then pop up with a reminder depending on the parameters you selected, whether that’s when your phone detects you’re leaving the house, or at the specified time.

Alarms and timers

If you use your phone for your morning alarm clock (and who doesn’t these days?), setting alarms with Google Assistant will quickly become the feature you use most frequently. You can set a daily alarm for yourself (“Wake me up every day at 7 a.m.”) or schedule yourself a quick nap (“Set an alarm for 2 hours from now”). You can be fairly conversational when setting alarms with Google Assistant, but you’ll always want to specify morning or evening if you don’t want to accidentally set that important morning alarm for p.m. instead of a.m.
