Set up daily routines with Google Assistant
You can ask your Google Assistant to help with daily routines — say one command and your Assistant can do multiple actions. For example, if you say, “Hey Google, good morning,” your Assistant can turn on your smart lights, tell you about the weather, play music or news, and more.
Settings and features vary by device and Android version. The steps might be different on your phone.
