Google Assistant was officially launched with their Google pixel phone, and it’s a voice assistant like Siri for iPhone or Cortana for Windows 10. Initially, this mobile assistant was supported only in Google pixel mobile, after which Google made it officially available to other smartphones that run on Marshmallow or newer Android version. This is really a big step in that. If your phone is based on Marshmallow or the new Android version, you can use Google Assistant.
To bring Google Assistant to your mobile, you will need to update the Google Play Store service and install latest app update of Google app. If possible, should join the beta version before updating both apps, the possibility of bringing Google Assistant to your smartphone will increase significantly.

10. Call/message someone
You can instruct gogole assistant to call or message someone you like, you can say something “Call John” or “Make a call” > Say the contact name aloud > It will make call. I must say sending messages to someone is very easy as you’ve got to compose the message by your voice, that’s cool.

It to work best with the Google Play Store music application, although it might work well with your other music application, that should be a default music player app.

Setting reminders are different than commanding assistant to remember things. Reminders are simply alarm you can set by your voice, by saying “set a reminder > name it” for example you can say, “remind me to wake up tomorrow 6 AM”.
