How to Make Google Home Your Personal Assistant

We’ve all been there before, you’re sitting at your table in the kitchen late at night and you ask yourself: “What can I make for dinner tonight that my husband or kids would actually like?” or “What’s on TV tonight?” You try asking your smart TV but you end up getting an error message that no one can seem to fix. Your phone is in the other room and you don’t feel like getting up to turn on the TV or hunt through the apps to find the channels that you actually want to watch. Then you remember, “Oh yeah, I have Google Home!” You say “OK Google” followed by the question and then sit back and relax while Google Home does all the work for you!


The Basics of Making Google Home Your Personal Assistant

The Google Home app is where you’ll find all of the controls for your Google Home. From there, you can link your Google Account to your device to manage your settings and also activate your Always-on microphone mode. You can also link your device to your Google Account to manage music, news, and other settings on your device.


You can also make Google Home control your lights and other electronic devices that you have connected to your Google Home. Take a look at the other devices you can control with Google Home. You can use them to manage your smart home or to help you out with simple daily tasks.


Ask Google Home To Read Your Emails

One of the most convenient things you can do with Google Home is to ask it to read your emails. You can say “OK Google, read my email” or “read my Gmail” to have Google Home read your most recent emails. You can then say “read one?” or “read two?” to have Google Home select random emails to play back for you. If you want to skip to a specific email, you can use the “next” command. You can also select specific emails to have Google Home read to you.


Ask Google Home What’s On Your To-Do List

One of the best things about Google Home is how you can ask it to do simple tasks for you. You can say “OK Google, what’s on my to-do list?” or “What’s on my agenda for today?” You can also ask Google Home “What are my reminders?” or “What’s on my calendar for tomorrow?” When you use these commands, Google Home will read off your to-do list or agenda items and you can even add items using the Google Home app.


How to Use Google Home to Find Out the Temperature In Your House

Need to know what temperature your house is? Ask Google Home and it will read off the temperature for you. You can also use this information to set up a more personalized temperature for when you’re home. If you want to set the temperature for a specific time, you can also use the “set the temperature to” command. For example, “OK Google, set the temperature to 70 degrees.” You can also ask “What is my indoor/outdoor temperature?” to have Google Home tell you the weather forecast for your area.


Ask Google Home for Current Local Weather Conditions

Need to know what the weather is outside your door? Ask Google Home and it will read off the current weather conditions for your location. You can also type in the exact address of a location to have Google Home tell you the weather for that specific spot. For example, if you want to know the weather at your front door, you can say “OK Google, what’s the weather at my front door?” or if you want to know what the weather is like at the beach, you can say “what’s the weather at the beach?”


Ask Google Home for The Latest National and World News

Need to know what’s going on in the world? Ask Google Home and it will read off the latest national and world news headlines. You can also ask “what’s trending on Google?” or “what’s on my timeline?” to get a feel for what people are talking about online. If you’re interested in learning more about a certain news story or event, you can also use the “news about” command to find out more about it.
