I know what would be a killer feature: the ability to turn it completely off and delete it and never have to see it ever again.

Anything else that allows me to set alarms and timers without having to touch my phone?

  "Hey Siri, set 10 minute timer". But I suppose you meant for Android ?

    Android indeed, or anything that's not Apple nor Amazon nor some other "all your data are belong to us". I know there are some cool DIY hacker projects out there, maybe I should really get my hands dirty tbh? In that case, does anyone know any good links to things they tried recently? Especially with Whisper.cpp and so on it may not be TOO hard on a Raspberry Pi... right?

      Try Home Assistant and an esp32 with a mic array. https://www.home-assistant.io/voice_control/ https://www.home-assistant.io/voice_control/

  I've been using a 1980s-style digital watch for this. It's good enough for cooking, which is the only time I care about not touching my phone.

  "ok google" : "Set timer for x minutes" works for alarm, etc...

> turn it completely off Instructions from first search result for "disable google assistant" might work? I found the option buried about 5 menus deep[1], but I left it on since it never triggers for me anyways, probably because I didn't set it up. [1] Settings -> Google -> Google applications -> Search and assistant -> Google Assistant -> General -> Disable My phone UI language is not English, the list above are my translations, actual text will likely be different.

  This turns it off but it does not disable the ways it shows itself as asking to turn it back on via gestures, or in other menus and applications. https://www.howtogeek.com/741457/how-to-disable-the-google-assistant-swipe-gesture-on-android/ https://www.howtogeek.com/741457/how-to-disable-the-google-a... worked for me
