That's the sound of us ramping up Google Assistant's
new monthly email. Kinda like car oil or socks, change
can be a great thing.
While you can expect the usual tips and highlights to
make the most of your Assistant, we'll also pepper in
curated content and news to keep you in the loop.
Sound good? Let's do this.

Questions living rent-free in your
head? From math to fast facts, your
Assistant can give you answers.
Ever followed a recipe that was in
grams and been like 😵💫 ?
Convert those grams to ounces
with a few words.
Curious to know how many miles
are in a 5K?
Spoiler: it's less than it sounds.
Ask for yourself.

Routines give you the ability to start
a chain of actions with a simple
command—like a verbal Swiss army
knife. Try a pre-set Routine or
customize your own.

| Look, Ma! Robots can now do the near-impossible—pick up a water bottle. 🦾 Working together, it’s taken Google Research and Everyday Robots tons of research, failures, and language models to understand the team’s directions. Where their focus has been: |
| • |
Training language models to
understand questions and reason
out answers |
|
| • |
Working with things in the real world to help people out |
|
| • |
Breaking down tasks into
simple behaviors |
|
|
It's a long road ahead, but they're
making it one programmed step at
a time. |
