1. Tune an instrument

Tuning an instrument just got easier! Just ask Google "OK Google, tune my instruments" to begin. You can then either ask to hear a specific piece of music, or a specific note.

2. Find your mobile phone

Google Assistant has many different actions, but finding your mobile phone is definitely one of the more useful ones! The steps vary depending on whether you have an iPhone or an Android device. See full steps here on how to make your device discoverable by your Google Home.

3. Open apps using your voice

Providing you have connected your mobile phone to your Google Home app

4. Multiroom audio

 If you have more than one Google speaker, you can use them as multiroom audio and play music through them as a singular speaker. You'll need to set up a speaker group first though. See how to do this here.

5. Set reminders

 You can ask Google to be your personal assistant and remind you about things! Just say "OK Google, set a reminder for...." and state the item you'd like to remember as well as when you'd like Google to remind you.

6. Send a broadcast 

If you have more than one Google Home speaker in your home, you can send a message through all of them at once to create a broadcast. Just ask "OK Google, broadcast that it's dinner time" or whatever your request may be. Perfect for letting the kids know when it’s ready to leave for school, or just letting people know that the takeout order has arrived!

7. Get some good news

Sometimes it's nice to hear something positive on a bad day! With Google home you can easily brighten up your day by asking "Hey Google, tell me something good". Google will then give you a brief summary of good news.

8. Help you sleep

If you like to use Google Home as a white noise machine to help you fall asleep, you might not want it to play all night. Just ask Google "OK Google, set a sleep timer for three hours", or a specific amount of time that you'd like the timer to be set for. Once this time has been reached, your white noise, or music, will automatically turn off.

9. Make decisions

Google Home features a heads or tails action that allows you to ask "OK Google, flip a coin". A perfect gadget to instantly solve where to go for dinner, or who's turn it is to take the bins out!

10. Change the voice

 If you're not feeling the default voice of your Google Home speaker, you can easily change it. Google allows you to pick from 11 different English voices. See how to switch the voice here.
