Just say "Ok Google."

The Google search bar is fraught with many built-in utilities that, if necessary, can replace the programs installed on your smartphone. Voice assistant "Google Assistant", which recently learned to understand Russian, has moved even further in this direction. In the article, we will tell you how you can use it to solve those tasks for which you previously used separate specialized programs.

1. Reminders

To create a new reminder, you need to ask the assistant: "Remind me …" You can set reminders for a specific time or tie them to the desired place. For example, program the appearance of a reminder exactly when you go to the store.

2. Weather

Google has been able to show weather forecasts for a very long time. The voice assistant understands requests in a variety of forms and is able to give an accurate forecast for today, tomorrow or a week in advance.

3. Calculator, unit and currency converter

If you need to perform a simple arithmetic calculation or translate some values into others, then you just need to ask the voice assistant about it. It is much more convenient than launching a separate application, and then manually typing the necessary values.

4. Shopping list

Every store has shoppers trying to make out their scribbles on a piece of paper. Don't do this, use the Google Assistant's built-in shopping list. Moreover, it can be simply dictated to the voice assistant.

5. Alarm clock and timer

To set a new alarm or start a timer, you don't have to manually select the time you want. Just ask an assistant - he will do everything for you. It is very convenient when your hands are busy or your phone is generally lying somewhere under the bed.

6. Translator

If you need to maintain a dialogue with a foreigner or quickly learn the translation of a phrase, then there is no time to type every word with your hands. In this case, the built-in translator will come to the rescue, to which you can simply dictate difficult words or whole sentences.

7. Music ID

Heard a cool song on the radio and wanted to know the artist's name? It couldn't be easier. Let's listen to the melody "Google Assistant" - he will easily find information about almost any composition in his huge database.

8. Search for cafes, cinemas, addresses

Google Assistant can search for almost any objects on the map and show detailed information about them. Understands the request in a free form, then it can be clarified. It is very convenient when your hands are busy or too lazy to type a long, detailed address.

9. View the schedule

To help keep you on track, ask the Google Assistant to show you your daily routine. In addition, he will be able to add a new event at your request.

10. Entertainment

When you feel bored or lonely, Google Assistant comes to the rescue. He can sing songs, tell jokes, give bad advice, and even play a few simple games.

The English version of the voice assistant supports much more actions than the localized one. She knows how, for example, to keep a diary of expenses, manage household appliances, read news bulletins and much more. We hope that over time these opportunities will appear in our company, which will make the program even more useful and convenient.
