Way back at Google I/O 2018, the company talked about adding 3rd-party app support for lists and notes in Google Assistant. People were very excited about this as Assistant’s built-in lists and notes features are pretty limited, not to mention people already have established favorite apps. A little over a year ago, it appeared the feature may be rolling out, but that never actually happened. Now, it looks like Google may finally be flipping the switch for real.
To get started, simply connect the Assistant with the app you use to create notes or lists. Select the “Services” tab in your Google Assistant settings and then choose your preferred provider name from the “Notes and Lists” section. Once connected, new notes and lists created from supported Assistant surfaces will appear in your chosen provider.
Whatsapp may have launched a paid integration with Any.do but you can’t talk to Whatsapp hands free from across the room or whilst driving to operate it. I like that there are multiple options and at least one which is completely free. For our home we really do use smart speakers for questions and often for setting alarms and reminders as we move around.
