technology news: What do you use Google Assistant for most often? (Poll of the Week)

My wife and I very much have a Google Assistant-centric home — we own three Google Home Minis, a standard Google Home, a Google Nest Hub, and multiple Pixel phones. For the most part, we really only use Google Assistant on each of these devices for checking the weather, setting reminders, and playing music around the house.

JBL Link Bar review: The smartest speaker in its class

Delay after delay created plenty of buzz for the JBL Link Bar review. This Google Assistant soundbar is a Chromecast-enabled smart speaker with full Android TV functionality. There's little it can't do. Let's find out …

We don't really own any smart home accessories aside from one smart plug, and we have yet to take the time to set up Assistant routines.

Don't get me wrong, it's very convenient to have smart speakers in every room of the house in case you need something; I just didn't imagine this what my "smart home" would look like in 2019.

So, I'd like to know how you use Google Assistant. Are you like me and only use it for basic things like asking about the weather, or are you all-in on smart home tech and use Google Assistant to control it? Cast your vote in the poll below, and speak up in the comments if there's anything you'd like to add.
