Google Home commands can come in handy in a variety of situations. Google Assistant, which powers the Google Home Mini, Google Nest Mini, Google Nest Hub, and Google Nest Audio, is arguably the most powerful voice assistant out there.
You can get a lot of things done or simply talk to Google using the Google Home Commands. Google even has a dedicated website where you can explore the power of Google Assistant. The website will give you custom tailored Google voice commands based on your assistant usage, installed apps, and of course, search history.
Here’s a complete list of all the ways you can talk to Google – the Google Home Commands also called as Google Assistant Commands.
