From identifying songs, you’re listening, to reminding you about your important things, from giving you a music quiz to making you laugh at jokes (…Or at least, it tries) – Google Assistant is perhaps the best virtual helper currently available, right.
Thanks to its much more smart and useful AI assistance than its competitors like Alexa, Bixby, Siri – Google Assistant is more responsive and better at handling commands we give to it. So is it close to JARVIS– That AI Iron Man used? I think that day is not so close, but still Google Assistant is the best alternative in this age.
As it’s full of features, many people end up never knowing about a variety of things that it can do – which is unfortunate, but don’t worry!
We present to you some of the best tips and tricks that you should know :
