The only thing I haven't been able to get it to do is read from my phone's local calendar. The claude app can but the voice assistant cannot (Why? No idea). Perplexity has no issue doing it so I actually use them for my rare needs to do voice commands with my phone.

How did you do that?

Settings > Apps > default apps > assistant

I got to > default apps, but don’t see assistant?

I'm on pixel on the beta, I'm not sure when the feature got added.

I was looking myself and it appears only certain regions (Japan) have that option.

I'm in USA, on a Pixel Android.

Hah I missed the part you said Google. You figure a thread about Siri was talking iOS. Of course the configuration path is the same in android as ios!

The context switched mid-thread- the reply was to somebody saying they hadn't heard from either Apple or Google phone users.

Gee thanks for pointing that out!
