About this app
Google Assistant: Your hands-free helper.
Get instant help with everyday tasks using just your voice. Google Assistant makes it easy to:
- Control your phone: open apps, adjust settings, turn on the flashlight and more.
- Stay connected: make calls, send texts and manage emails without lifting a finger.
- Get things done: set reminders, create lists, ask questions and find directions.
- Manage your smart home: control lights, thermostats and other devices from anywhere.*
New! Now you can also opt in to Gemini (formerly Bard) from Google Assistant and have it act as your primary assistant from Google on your phone.
Gemini is an experimental AI assistant that gives you direct access to Google's best family of AI models, unlocking new ways to assist you while still incorporating many of the actions you love in Google Assistant today.
While some of the actions won't work right away, we're working to support more coming soon. You'll be able to switch back to Google Assistant in app settings.
Gemini opt-in is rolling out to select devices and countries—opt in to Gemini from your Google Assistant or by downloading the Gemini app.

Like others have described, the assistant has become less and less functional over time. When I drive, I say "hey Google"and ask it a command. It pops up, listens, acknowledges my response, then does nothing. this happens in my car, on my phone, outside of driving. I have also experienced the "unlock device first" issue. Google used to have a great ecosystem and apps, but you can't live in a house where the manager comes in and keeps changing your furniture (and your locks).

Google Assistant fails to make a sound to indicate it is active on my S20+, so it's pretty useless, since I never know if Google Assistant is actually activated and ready unless I'm looking at my phone, in which case I would not need Google Assistant. Could not find an option for the App to make a confirmation sound after saying "ok Google". PS: will send Feedback report as suggested and added one star for quick developer response. PS: As suggested in the review reply, I have submitted the issue via the Feedback form. It is quite simple: I say "OK Google", but never know whether my phone is "listening", as there is no confirmation sound. I have to LOOK at my phone to see if the assistant responds or is listening, but that sort of defeats the purpose for me.

This assistant is such a source of frustration. I wish smartphones were never invented in the first place. It rarely gets what you mean. It rarely has the permission to do what you need. I'd like if the assistant would allow me not to look at the phone. And if it would suggest spontaneously improvements to my schedule. You know, like an "assistant". Most of the times it loses connection anyway and won't respond
