Google Assistant is a personal assistant that can help you with various tasks on your Chromebook. In this tutorial, we will show you how to set up the search assistant feature on your Chromebook.
To get started, select the clock icon located on the bottom right corner of your system shelf. Next, click on the settings icon, which should be a gear-shaped icon. On the left side of the screen, click on the main menu button, which is indicated by three horizontal lines. From there, select “Search and Assistant” on the left side.
You will see two options, “Google Assistant” and “Search and Assistant.” Click on “Search and Assistant” and toggle the switch to the “on” position by clicking inside the oval once. If you want to make it respond to your voice, you will need to set the “Okay Google” function to the “on” position by clicking on the drop-down menu and selecting “on” or “always on.”
You can also choose the functionalities of allowing it to show notifications when different things pop up, as well as the preferred input. For instance, if you prefer to use your voice instead of the keyboard, you can switch it to that option.
Additionally, you can modify notifications and if you want it to respond to your voice. If you click on “Google Assistant Settings,” you can see more information about what it wants to respond or report on, such as your places, weather conditions, and activity.
Under the system options, you can access different navigational features, such as travel mode, and see what’s currently linked to this account under “System Devices.” Finally, you can access various services such as notes and lists, music, calendar, and assignable reminders.
