Google Assistant was once the standard to measure against, but it continues to crumble in the "Gemini" era.

    About the only thing I still use it for is setting timers and asking it what time it is. It’s useless at everything else.

      My Nest just forgets about timers about 20% of the time. This is me, daily.

      • “Set a 10 minute timer”
      • “OK, 10 minute timer starting now”
      • “How much time is left?”
      • “It doesn’t look like you have any timers”

        Omg! I feel like that is happening with my Alexa device recently… I thought it was me, but this comment is making me wonder.

      Same. I have moved fully to Home Assistant, with the exception of voice commands. For the most part, I don’t even need those either now that I have an ok grasp on automations
