A little eye-opening to read about the issues experienced. Glad I wasn't an early adopter in this case.

Honestly, the biggest thing they need to fix is the assistant. It can't even set the alarm to 5:05 with voice commands, without suggesting that I meant to say 5:05, which is exactly what I said.

It often mistakes what was said, and does a google search, even though you asked it to do a function it's perfomed many times before (like tirning on a light).

I feel that the last year has been awful for the assistant. We have a google nest mini or w/e in the bedroom, and I can't snooze my alarm for 10min without it shitting the bed and setting off the alarm, while also asking me if I meant 10am or pm (as if I'm setting a new alarm). To be clear, I can snooze for 9 or 11 minutes just fine. But 10 minutes is no good.
