Once your reservation is successfully made, you’ll receive a notification on your phone, an email update and a calendar invite so you don’t forget." https://blog.google/products/assistant/book-table-google-assistant-across-country-more-devices/ https://blog.google/products/assistant/book-table-google-ass...

Or the comments under https://youtu.be/-RHG5DFAjp8 https://youtu.be/-RHG5DFAjp8 It's probably hard to trigger these days because most places support OpenTable or similar.

  Assistant makes reservations for me just like that demo :P but in general I agree it's gone very downhill
