Updated assistant

Ever since I updated to new assistant I have so many problems! I wish I could fire her!! Doesn’t recognize music to identify-is very finicky on understanding requests and is a disappointment!

can anyone offer any tips?

Hi @Claridge

Best thing to do is to share feedback after every wrong request. I've had to adjust how to ask some commands, so maybe that will help too.

I also greatly miss asking what's playing or what song is that etc. Hopefully, that can be added back.

Thanks for suggesting! I’m glad it wasn’t just me Experiencing that feature being gone. I’m still adjusting with all of the updates and I can’t find any real information as to changes being standard versus changes only I might be experience. Definitely check out the Sher Feedback button to thanks for your thoughts.
