My grandmother used it for calling. She’d long press the home button and say ‘Call Aliya’ etc. It has stopped working last week, in both google assistant and gemini. If anyone knows an alternative, please let me know.
It also can’t connect to Google home without being unlocked nor set your navigation to an address in your contacts, or as far as I can tell do anything useful at all.
Oh and I almost forgot it will also fucking block other apps from doing shit that they used to be able to do because it decided that something in your phrase is a key word.
Seems to be a case of dumb incentives winning. If you evolve the google assistant to be more powerful, it’s a “small” quite project, but you build a big foundational replacement and wow promotion

You might have to remap the home button to Gemini maybe?
Tried that but gemini seems incapable of placing calls
