To be fair, I bought a Razr+ just before Thanksgiving, finally switching to Android, and I have no idea what Google assistant is for or how to use it. There's a gesture that's supposed to launch it that doesn't work, so I've just ignored it.
Sounds like I'd be PO'd if I'd bothered to put any effort into learning to use it. Google is the least trustworthy company ever for software users - it's Lucy holding the football for its beleaguered Charlie Brown software users...
