Here’s how to have some fun with your Google Nest Mini (or Google Assistant app) when you’re cut off from your human friends. Set a morning routine that turns all your lights on after your alarm goes off and reads you the morning news. You’ll get a structured start to your day, and you’ll be reminded what day of the week it is, which is always helpful when you haven’t gone outside for a while. You can also compose voice messages for friends and family and check in on conversations. And if you forgot where you last set down your phone, Google Assistant can ping it for you. If you say, “OK Google, be my interpreter,” then it can help you have entire conversations with someone who speaks another language. It’s the perfect time to call your fourth grade pen pal who lives in France.
“OK, Google. What do you look like?” ”OK, Google. What’s your vector, Victor?” ”OK, Google. What’s the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?” ”OK, Google. Do you speak Morse code?” ”OK, Google. Who’s your daddy?” ”OK, Google. Oh no, baby, what is you doing?” ”OK, Google. Here comes dat boi” ”OK, Google. Set phasers to kill” ”OK, Google. Make me a sandwich” ”OK, Google. Do you ever get tired?” ”OK, Google. Up up down down left right B A” ”OK, Google. Where’s Waldo?” ”OK, Google. What’s cooler than being cool?”
