I asked Google Home: "Is it cold outside?" and it responded: "Sorry, I can't answer that yet." Seriously!? This is the same for all of these home devices, but I have to talk to it in such a robotic manner, and if I deviate at all it won't do what I want. It definitely has some niceties, but a long way to go to being essential in my life.

That's weird; the Assistant on the Pixel responds to that with "No, it's not cold in Mountain View right now. The temperature right now is 29." (and shows a weather forecast card).

  I can confirm both of these results: Google Home said "Sorry, I don't know how to help with that" and Google Assistant on my iPhone answered "No, it's not cold in Seattle right now. The temperature right now is 66."

    Maybe the location of the Google Home hasn't been set, via the Home app? And so it doesn't know where it is.

      Hmm weird, when I ask what's the weather outside, it answers correctly.

        I haven't tried, but I think you can tell it to send feedback to the engineers.
