@vozoto Agreed. And it was genuinely useful, and often gave me information before I even thought about looking for it.
Assistant is handy when you want to Do A Thing with your voice, I guess, but nothing in Google's current portfolio can hold a torch to the no-nonsense approach of Google Now.
@john_b the article nails it; Snapshot really is inferior to Now.
@john_b Google Now was great, with swipe to dismiss.
