How to automate everyday tasks easily with Google Assistant’s Routines

Google Assistant is great, but it is much more powerful than a voice-assisted search engine that can tell you the weather on demand. Assistant is also capable of remembering certain phrases you say and triggering selected actions every time you say them. This is possible thanks to a feature called Routines.

Here’s how you too can set up Google Assistant routines on your phone and automate basic tasks on the command of your voice.

How to set up Routines on Google Assistant

Step 1: Navigate to the Routines settings page

You can get to the Routines settings page by first opening Google Assistant on your Android device and clicking on the three-dot menu on the bottom-right.
