Get your daily subscriptions and keep tabs on your notes with Google Assistant

A DAILY DOSE OF THE WEATHER WITH A LIST OF YOUR SWEET NOTHINGS.

As a Google Assistant user, you have the opportunity to use the app to send you jokes, poems, the weather report or even funny videos at certain times every day, or any other frequency you wish. Setting up these subscriptions is easy via the “Send me XYZ every day” — ‘XYZ’ being whatever information (or entertainment) you’re after. Open the app, say or type out the kind of information you’d like to receive and when, then select ‘Yes’. Set the time you want to receive the updates and voila!

If you’re someone who thinks on their feet and can never remember all your thoughts and little to-dos at the end of the day, Google Assistant can help with this, too.

You will need to set up a free IFTTT (If This Then That) account for this, however, but that’s not too hard. Once you’ve logged into IFTTT, make your way to the Google Assistant channel and turn on ‘Keep a list of notes to email yourself at the end of the day’. Connect to your Google Home account, make sure the settings are to your liking and hit Save.

The next time you want to remind yourself of something or want to save a random thought to follow through with later, just speak it out or type it into the app and Assistant will send you an email reminder at a time you’ve specified with a summary of the day’s titbits.
