Looks like a bunch of features are being removed due to “underutilization”

    The only use I have for Google Assistant is to call people when I’m in my car, and even then it doesn’t work correctly.

    • "Call " -> Calls a business in a neighbouring country which happens to have the same (common) name as my wife.
    • "Call " -> Calls my wife.
    • "Call " -> Calls another business in the same neighbouring country which name contains my father’s first and last name.
    • "Call " -> Calls my father.

    Wtf really. Those two businesses must keep wondering who’s that number that keeps calling them at absurd times from another country and never leaves a message, because I can never remember who I must use the full name of…

      You can tell it your relationship to your contacts and then you can just say “call my wife” or “call my dad” and it’ll work.
