It is seemingly accurate and can do a lot of things you never knew about.  Here are the 6 handy features of your Google Assistant you never knew about.
  

1. Know your route back Home (check traffic updates)

      Google Assistant on the basis of vast information at its fingertips can find the best route to the way back home from your current location. Just by saying "Get me home" it will extract information from Google Maps and show or tell you from your current location to your home. 

      You can also give it commands to start the voice-activated commands if you are driving and it will give you latest news about the diversions and closures. This feature is very handy if you use Google Assistant while driving or while you are on the move.

2. Make Shopping list, not in old school method, but with your voice

       Google Assistant has been drafted or designed to assist you in all sorts of work, whether it may be making a silly shopping list, it can be made with your voice. 

       You just need to say "Add (item) to my shopping list."

        Google Assistant will not only collect them in one place but will also read out the items what is on your current list so you don't left out anything.

3. Check Appointments and Mails

      If you are using Google Assistant, there is a high chance that you may be using some of the Google's other services too. If you use Gmail and Google Drive, you can command your Google Assistant to check through your emails for certain keywords or bring up an appointment that is added to Google Calendar.

       You can also add quick notes with the help of your Google assistant to Google Keep. It will help you to jot down idea while you are doing some other work. This feature is very handy as it helps you to catch up with new emails to which you have not responded.

4. Get in touch with the latest news

    Most of us are so busy in our day to day life that we have no time to go through the latest news or the things going on in the surroundings. In this matter, your Google Assistant can help you to get in touch with the latest news.

     You just have to say "Play the news" and the assistant will start reading the latest news stories from your selected sources. You can ask it to pause, play or even ask to read the news from the specific news source.

5. Ask the Assistant to Entertain you.

      Not finding a partner to play a game with? Want to test your brain power within few minutes? Google Assistant can help you in both matters with a game of solitaire or a tic-tac-toe.

      It can also make you laugh by cracking a joke or a pun or even motivate you by reading out an inspirational or motivational quote you can also ask the Google Assistant to search something funny to watch, for e.g. A YouTube video.
