    Yep. I’ve used my Google assistant for timers, alarms, weather, and music. Anything more complex is a headache. Even music is half the time.

      Asking the thing to handle music in another language was terrible. Asking it to play a French song to an assistent set in English gives stupid results for example. “Que sera, sera” becomes “Oh Sarah”.

        This! I live in Taiwan, but 99% of my entertainment is from the US. I can’t use Any of these assistants in English otherwise street names or other Mandarin stuff won’t work, but if I use Mandarin assistants none of my music or shows works.
