Yup, Google is a day late and a dollar short in this arena, and that's in spite of their advantages of the largest knowledge base on the planet, and threaded conversations.

They would need real magic to overcome the several hundred dollars that I have already invested in Alexa.

I've heard rumblings of a few devices that have both Alexa and Assistant, that's the only way I'd even consider Google.

Me: "Alexa; How high is up?"
Alexa: "I'm sorry, I don't know that."
Me: "OK Google; How high is up?"
Google: "Twice the distance of half way; take THAT Alexa!"
