Virtual assistants at work are still new features and have a lot to improve. The more features we have, the more we want new features. In small environments we have "noise" between virtual assistants, making use inappropriate. But in more distributed environments it is very good. We still have a lot to learn (both, us and our Alexas).

Can you answer on the design pattern which Netflix uses for next video
I think newer, complementary ideas are a bit sharper than Google Assistant especially in a Q&A environment or when seeking some depth to a subject. That enhancement is to be expected I feel. And Google Assistant is not so self limiting so I don't have a lot of improvement needs because I use this for what I've become accustomed to and for the ability overall.
It is always important to do your best around hectic places, in bad tower signal areas or even if trying to do something new while using Google Assistant. Have patience in the setting. It pays off.
I feel this can be adjusted and after some trial and error you sort of start knowing what will work and how. And I have to say the overall impact becomes personal and we are all different. I'm small scale and as I've said, it works.
We looked at two other alternatives: Google Nest and Apple. But Alexa already has popular devices that many people on the team already had in their homes. And it would be easier to integrate into the professional environment. The cost of Amazon products is also much lower, which makes the product more competitive.
This is where I would go next. And I think in functionality Google Gemini has a place. Especially so in this Newer AI driven world. I don't have any full force desire or usage on Google Gemini at the present. It is mostly what has been passed on to me in indirect ways.
I'm about strategy and clarity in my projects and flexibility to change, enhance and correct. I get what I need in this via Google Assistant.
When I need to get the word out or have a little extra done in real time I can easily use the feature via my voice commands while I'm doing something else simultaneously even in an environment where background noise and atmospheric clutter might be present. Clarity is pretty solid in my experience.
I like to use as little as possible when it comes to Bluetooth, smart enhancements and such and having Google Assistant interact with my connected items is rather smooth as well.
