Learning
Google Assistant can learn more about you in addition to the data that is linked to your Google Account or company services such as residence and age. You can say commands such as “what is my boyfriend’s name?”, “What is my father’s name?”. Whenever Google does not have these answers, the Wizard will ask you to teach them. The most interesting thing is that you can also ask the Assistant things about her, like “when were you born?”, “Do you like Siri?”, “Do you think I am handsome?” and so on.
Remember that you can activate the Wizard with the “Ok, Google” command by going to your settings. Otherwise, you can press the physical or virtual start button of your Android for a few seconds.
