Why even bother having it at all anymore. Can’t use it through Bluetooth, it’s slow, can’t hardly handle any tasks…

Google has completely lost the plot with their services.

    I mostly used it for bring. Back in summer 2023 they nixed the API so I gather a lot of API integrations have stopped working.

    Overall the quality of the product has gone down too. It doesn’t recognise me as well as it used to, and it very rarely attempts to give answers, usually you just get a “sorry I don’t understand” instead.

    What’s really amusing to me is that HomeKit and Siri has become more reliable than Nest and Google Assistant is. Siri used to be laughable, and while it still doesn’t do as much as GA used to do, it is much smoother and rarely gives me BS answers. The only time I get annoyed with Siri is when it insists I unlock my phone for it to answer.

    Google assistant barely even does lights for me anymore. It usually puts on some rubbish podcast instead. Or it cancels all alarms. Absolute garbage.
