If you've already been playing with the Google Assistant, but don't know what to do with it on a day-to-day basis, you've come to the right place.


If you have the Google Assistant, but you don't know what to do with it on a day-to-day basis, you've come to the right place.

Whether you have a Google Home, Google Home Mini, Nest Mini or related devices that integrate it, here are some commands that will make your life a little easier.

The Google Assistant is a powerful management tool that can be used to set alarms, reminders, search for information, and much more.

You can even use it to translate other languages ​​or make calls to friends and family.

In addition, it is ideal for playing music at parties.

Try some of these features to get the most out of your Google Assistant.

The interpreter mode

Like Google Translate, Google Home can help you learn and interpret different languages.

Ask the Google assistant something like: "Ok Google, translate me from French" and you will see that it begins to do so.

You can also simply ask for interpreter mode to be activated and then identify which languages ​​you want translated.

Once you hear the tone, let the conversation begin.

When you have finished speaking, your Google Home will send its voice to all the devices installed in the house.

All you have to do is think of a character and he will start asking all 20 questions.

It is difficult to confuse it, it is always right.

Chromecast control

Got a Chromecast and a smart speaker with Google Assistant?

If so, you can control the Chromecast connected to the TV only by voice.

All it takes is a few taps to link your Netflix account to Google Home.

Open the Google Home app, tap the menu icon (it looks like a person), then More Settings in the Google Assistant section.

Next, select Services, Photos and Videos and finally scroll to Netflix.

Finally, press the link icon to start the session.

Various commands

You don't have to say just one command at a time with the Google Assistant.

Similar to Amazon's Alexa devices, you can chain commands together and save a bit of breath.

Here's an example: "Ok Google, turn off the kitchen lights, turn on the bedroom lights and tell me the time for tomorrow."

With guest mode, you can share Google Home with guests at home without having to give them the WiFi password.

To do this, open the Google Home application, select the device and press the Settings icon, which is shaped like a gear.

Next, select guest mode and turn it on, noting the 4-digit PIN.
