How does it work? The assistant can start conversations and solve any doubts you have. To get started, you must first open the app and configure: More > Settings > Google Assistant > Explore. There you can select each option of interest, then you can also set the control of applications such as Netflix, Spotify or YouTube, phone functions such as Calls or Messages or topics of interest such as Sports or Weather.
