hello everyone I'm a fan of Google home Google assistant and different things about smart assistants in case of entertaining and other things so if you use Google home or you just use your Google assistant on the phone what do you like doing with it and do you discover new skills for it I envy about the users of Amazon echo because they can discover new skills to try and they are so awesome but that's not the case about the Google assistant because each time I watch skills look for skills to use on Google assistant it's usually some Indian skills with their own quizzes that nobody from other countries know knows how to do it. how to play so if you discover skills how do you do that I wish there could be a podcast like dot to dot but about Google assistant but there is no

hey there so I hope we're talking about the same thing when it comes to skills hope it's not anything I haven't heard of before I should probably Google that first but never mind yeah I do have a Google assistant and it's it's a pretty helpful smart tool and you can do a lot of stuff a lot of amazing stuff that we and fun stuff too the reason the recent funny thing I've discovered about it is when you say okay Google make me a sandwich I so I don't recommend you being lazy in front of Google because it's gonna punish you and it's you can play games with obviously I guess you know that you can play games such as lucky trivia tic-tac-toe a lot of quiz games big amount of quiz games you can if you ask him to give you a riddle it's gonna put you also in sort of adventure game with riddles and there's some adventure games to do there's there's quite a lot of games there's a there's a big amount of games and yeah thinking that there's really many things that are worth experimenting with I guess I'm gonna make this post too long but we can share later on for sure but I have a I have a I suspect you know these things because Google's about to get me that stuff in quite some time but I don't think I can help it. Because I guess if you were looking for them, they are reachable on the internet. Of course, people write about them, people share them. So I have a feeling that you're looking for something else than what I'm describing. So excuse me if that's so. Bye for now.

Hello there! Google Assistant is a good idea, but I have a question. Is there any version on PC? Because I'm using PC and I would like to try to test how does it work.

Hello, Polina. Well, as far as I know, you can use Google Assistant in Google Chrome, but I have never tried that. I am not sure, but I think you can use it on Google Chrome.

Hello! Regarding Google Home. I have a Google Home. I have a Google Home Mini I think. Yeah, I do. And I really like it but I just think that the Google Assistant needs some improvements. I mean Alexa is a bit better because it has a bit more options and availabilities and stuff like that.

hello yeah i agree about alexa and we also have a similar google assistant in russia and i think that alexa and well actually this google assistant that is in russia is copy of alexa and i really like it and i really like i'm disappointed that i didn't purchase an amazon echo even if it's not officially supported here in russia so yeah well actually amazon alexa has more skills to try and google has better search options that's it really i mean alex has lots of games

hello everyone I think yes I like more Alexa but it is starting every time I I talk about Alexa Alexa shut up yes but I think Google Home is not starting when you say talk about Google because because you must say ok Google I think I don't know but maybe Google may be ok Google but I don't know is there changing of wake words or something in Amazon in Amazon there is a wake word changing system for echo devices for echo dots especially I think there is echo Amazon computer and I'm talking quiet because it will start again yes and she has really it has really interesting in and very mysterious function it is recognizing when you whisper for example when you whisper it replies with whisper to you I thought I heard a question oh it didn't recognize what are you doing I don't know what happens but I will talk to you soon Belinda think the background noise is blocking it to recognize whispers I think I should restart my Alexa because she because it is really little misunderstanding me I think but anyway Google home is also interesting thing I think but I didn't search for it I purchased Amazon Alexa from Turkey I shut up I purchased it in Turkey echo dot and I'm really happy because it has alarms it can turn on jazz radio the only bad thing that it can not turn on your music from your storage you must connected from Bluetooth or something or it will play from Amazon music or from somewhere like this but yes it cannot play something from Internet you see play of safeeters and night train play Oscar Peters night ran from somewhere from YouTube or somewhere but says hey purchase amazon music it costs it costs nothing for you oh wow and i say um no i would i will not purchase amazon music i would try amazon music for free three months then i will change my amazon account then again i will try the amazon music for free then again i will change my amazon account but i don't want to create million emails i think my three or four emails will last a year of amazon music but i am a little bit late to do this i downloaded the app to uh my pc and it is working but it is not launching or running all of programs from C program files it's it doesn't open directories it doesn't launch programs it doesn't do it it does nothing for this computer it cannot shut down the computer but Yandex is Russian voice assistant Alisa can can shut down and can run some applications she can do more on on the computer I don't know who stupid person made Amazon elect for the computer if it is Amazon really I don't know but if I downloaded wrong application to my computer I don't know but but there is a button open navigation and there are seven list items their announcement the main maybe settings I don't know I don't remember

Okay. Hey guys, Daniel here. Yeah, on the subject of the Google Home, I'm getting a Google Nest Mini, hopefully on my birthday. My girlfriend was suggesting that I get one. It's like a Google Home Mini, but with more bass. Yeah, besides Lucky Trivia, I found a bunch for you guys to check out. You can, if you say open song quiz, you can do like a decades song quiz. There's also Mad Libs, and there's also a bunch of funny stuff. There's a weird trick where it makes noises when you ask it to play. Pull your finger. My friend Brian told me about that, and yeah. That's what I think.

Yo guys, it's Lucy here. I'm using Google Home for a year and something. I also had Amazon Alexa. I gave it to my sister recently, some weeks ago. I liked it, I can't say, but I'm such a shame that the Diddy skill disappeared, like dedicated Alexa users know. Yes, about the Google Home, there's very, very good thing that it doesn't wake up whenever. The wake words for Alexa, I think they are not so inspired, because if you say Alexa, either as a name, either as her name, it's going to wake up, and its wake up sensitivity is way too high. Plus, you might also say Amazon. And either you refer to the river, either to the website, either to the company itself, it doesn't matter, it will start. Also with computer, who would use computer as a wake word for Alexa, really? And Echo, I don't know, you might say Echo system, Echo itself, and stuff like that. So no. About Google Home, I like the fact that I can use my YouTube Premium subscription, which you cannot use pretty much with Alexa. I love Song Quiz, I love I'm Feeling Lucky trivia, I love riddles, I love the noises she makes, the things she does when you tell her to tell you a story, to scare you, to sing a song, to do stuff. And it's also a very, very good information source, because it's using Google's search engine. Other things you can do, there are a lot of games, there are a lot of interesting things. She has also a couple jokes. Talking about beatboxing and stuff like that, Alexa is much advanced, and I love Alexa's songs better than Google Home's, so yeah. The Google Home mini has quite a decent volume, but the Nest is much bassier, and it has a little bit volume boost as well. I don't know, I love the secret trapdoor to the Echo.2nd gen, like the second generation, that even if it says it has a 10 volume scale, you can also say volume 11, and that's cool. So yeah, this is my review. I hope I was helpful. Ah, and also, the UK adapter, because it's on three feet, it's a little bit much sturdier than, like, it's sturdy, instead of the, like, the Echo US adapter. Because I had to use some string and some stuff to just stick it in place to the charger, because it was always pulling off and breaking. I even changed an adapter for that, because it broke and it didn't work anymore. So yeah, take care of your adapters, take care of your speakers, and take good care of yourselves. Bye.

oh and another thing i've set a complete alarm routine like i told her to wake me up every monday at a certain time every tuesday at a certain time so i don't have to set the alarms every time plus the reminders are great uh the calling system is also great if you if she knows numbers or stuff like that um for example let me show you hey google which is my alarm routine hey google which is my alarm routine you have set an alarm every monday wednesday and thursday at 7 40 a.m and an alarm every tuesday at 7 a.m yep so this is my alarm routine uh you can set it like you can tell her this you can also if you have smart tvs and stuff that are that you know are compatible with it you can set them up from the app you can set some smart light systems like light bulbs and some other bluetooth speakers some other things that should start and pop out and also you consider another routine like on tuesdays for example make a coffee 10 minutes after i wake up like at 7 10 10 a.m you know as i set my alarm for example and it's going to if you're like if your coffee machine is uh uh an app controlled one a smart one you are going to be able to do that for example if you have also a tv show at a certain time of the day you can tell the google home to automatically start the tv at that time but i think those features are available also to a lot of people and they're still used to doing that or you know they're still used to having a alexa although the list of devices is a little bit limited and they have some certain criterias so yeah if i'll have something more to add i'll post again if not this is the end

And no, Necodot is not that expensive. I paid 50, 60, like 50 or 60 dollars or more or less. I don't know how much I paid for it. 300, 400, not more than that in my currency. And the Google Home was even much cheaper, like 40, 50 dollars. It was like 200 of my currency. 200, 100 something. I don't even know. Anyway.
