If we're not in the same room, we use an encrypted messenger. We do DMs and have a group chat.
If we're in the same room but don't want the kids to hear, we'll message too. If you ask out loud if we should get pizza, a no would prompt a mutiny.
We tried to use assistant broadcast, but it fails everytime someone turns the volume down on one. They need to fix the volume for broadcasts.
They have a lot of long-standing bugs but it seems like Google Assistant isn't really being prioritised by Google at the moment. They're actually removing a bunch of features: https://www.zdnet.com/home-and-office/work-life/google-assistant-will-lose-these-17-features-in-the-next-few-weeks/
Broadcasts via Google's API also fail if the network has IPv6 enabled. That's been broken for years and I doubt it'll ever be fixed.
So, it’s EOL but they’re still collecting as much data as possible, basically?
Yeah my experience was with Amazon products and unless You've got the biggest speaker models you can't even hear them over the TV.
