“Say “please” or “thank you” when using the Assistant and you’ll often be rewarded with delightful responses,” Google says,”Try “Hey Google, please play some holiday music for me” or “Hey Google, please set a timer for 5 minutes.” Your Assistant will often respond with something like, “Thanks for asking so nicely. Alright, 5 minutes. Starting now.”
Aside from the politeness feature, Google is working to add support for Google Keep. Any.Do, Bringl and ToDoist so users can make lists directly from the assistant using their voice.
Finally, Google ‘s Assistant will also Christmas books to you on request this holiday season. The firm is starting wit Mickey’s Christmas Carol, and offers over 50 titles including Beauty and the Beast and Cinderella. More content will be launched over the holiday season, accessible by simply saying “Hey Google, tell me a Winter story” or other similar phrased Christmas requests.
