Google Assistant

Hey, Google – What Google Assistant can do...

Google Assistant listens to your voice. This feature searches for information on the internet, provides details about your appointments or launches apps when you give the command.

Google voice input is useful for performing routine tasks via voice command. But Google Assistant can also understand complex tasks. So you don't have to say ‘Weather, 17 February’, you can ask ‘Hey Google, what's the weather like tomorrow?’

With a little practice, you can control your smartphone with voice commands.

How do I use Google Assistant?

  • Maps: ‘How long does it take to drive from Vienna to Munich?’
  • In addition to the answer, Google Maps will also show you the suggested route.
  • Translate: ‘What does “Where is the exit?” mean in Russian?’
  • You can ask questions using individual words or entire sentences.
  • Appointments: ‘Remind me to go shopping in an hour.’
  • A reminder is created and issued as a notification at the appointed time.
  • Lists: ‘Add “do laundry” to my to-do list.’
