It's a digital assistant, and a virtual one at that, but Google Assistant sometimes surprises us with the most thoughtful and lovely answers to our weird questions. Yes, it has its failures like any assistant, many of which we've discussed in length time and again, but we're going to put them aside for a brief moment today and focus on those moments when it's at its best. So if you're back at work after the long holiday weekend and you're not sure how to get your gears running, here's a lil' somethin' somethin' to put a smile on your face.
