I realise I can have a shopping list, but sometimes I want to have some items as a binary option, yes or no.

What are you even asking? You already have a binary option when you add it to the list or leave it off.

I assume he is asking if he can say "hey google, we have eggs"

Then later, when shopping, he can ask "hey google, do we have eggs?"

As far as an actual answer to your question goes, I tried the following:

remember that we have eggs

ok, i'll remember that!

do we have eggs?

these are the top results (web search)

So, doesn't seem to work

you can say what have i told you to remember and it will display it, but if you did too many things, it would get annoying to look through them.

This lack of context awareness is exactly why I don't even bother with current gen assistants

"hey Google, remember we have eggs"

"OK, I'll remember that"

"hey Google what have I asked you to remember?"

"here's what you asked me to remember;

One, we have eggs.

Two, asking for your blood"

WTF?

Egg-xactly!

Don't know if such an Android assistant even exists, but you just introduced a really good app idea here.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

He's asking if we have eggs

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's no way to distinguish between "no eggs" and "no data" then.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Yes you have an item called "eggs" with a value of zero.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Would Google know if you have eggs?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Yes, we have no eggs.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Do you mean something like a checkbox?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I use google keep for my shopping lists(with checkboxes) but i don't think you can query it.
