What are action suggestions?
When you use the Google Assistant, you may get action suggestions that you can select to perform an action or learn more about the response. Action suggestions create a more personalized, helpful experience. The suggestions can appear on different devices, like your phone, TV, or Smart Display, and can appear during different Google Assistant interactions.
How action suggestions are created
To create a more personalized experience, action suggestions use information that we collect when you use our services, such as:
- Questions you’ve previously asked Google Assistant
- Event you’ve created in Google Calendar
For example: If you ask Google Assistant about finding an outdoor restaurant it may suggest you ask about the weather at your destination.
Action suggestions are also based on popular questions related to what you’ve asked.
