"OK Google" is the biggest problem I find with Google Home and Google Assistant so far. Things like "Alexa" and "Siri" are short and seem more practical. When I say "Ok Google", I feel like doing a mouth-exercise. And multiply this extra effort over the number of times you need to apply it in a single session. It is a pain. Why didn't Google ever change it?!

Privacy. Alexa and Siri get triggered unintentionally very frequently in normal conversation.

YouTube Music is so bad. Comically bad. I had an amazing indie music discovery service in Google Play Music. I found so many fantastic underplayed artists, and it helped me explore all the small music venues in my city. I've got a wall full of signed albums from artists I discovered with Google Play Music. YouTube music recommends Britney Spears . It's so awfully wrong about my tastes. It also randomly inserts YouTub…

I used to come home and say “Ok Google, turn on the lights.” 80% of the time my lights would turn on. 20% of the time, I’d be greeted with: “Ok, playing ‘Turn on the Lights’ by Future on Spotify.” And I’d stand there in the dark, listening to music I don’t like, questioning my life decisions.

As a Google employee, I really don't want to be saying "Ok, Google" in my home all the time. It's totally possible for me to go to work in a subway that has Google ads, waste time on my Pixel, work at the Google office for eight hours, waste time on my Pixel, walk past the same ads on the way home, watch YouTube videos and do Google searches about random topics, and ask Google to set an alarm before I go to sleep. It…

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I have endless frustrations with Google Assistant / Google Now / Whatever they call it now. A few examples: 1. I have my phone set up to trust bluetooth in my car and unlock my phone. I get in the car and say "okay google, open spotify" -- this is so that it will continue playing what I was listening to before I left work. "Okay", she says, and then tells me that she can't do that because my screen is locked. Sometim…

> 5. Commands which have worked for months suddenly stop working. This is my biggest gripe. Whatever magic voodoo ML they use is inconsistent, and it's not clear what level of abstraction this inconsistency is happening in. What I want is the reliability of Google Assistant's speech to text parsing, combined with a firm, customizable interface. Something like If This Then That, where there are some default commands w…
