How do I make my google home remember things? I followed the advice exactly from https://support.google.com/assistant/answer/7536723?hl=en-GB which says:
Say 'Hey Google, remember that [thing to remember].' For example, you can say 'Hey Google, remember that my spare keys are in the kitchen cabinet.'
Say 'Hey Google, where or what is [thing to remember].' For example, you can say 'Hey Google, where are my spare keys?'
I read these out exactly, and this happened:
Me: "Hey Google, remember that my spare keys are in the kitchen cabinet"
Google: "Ok, I'll remember that"
Me: "Hey Google, where are my spare keys?"
Google: "Sorry, I didn't understand, but I found something related, do you want to know can you track the location of car keys?"

After further fiddling, this is very difficult to get it to do. You have to do two things to make it work:
1) Only use "what is". "Where is" fails. So "what is my keys" results in the correct "your keys are in the kitchen cabinet". But "where are my keys" tells me where I can get keys cut locally!!
2) Make it personal. "My car is red" works, but "x is 43" does not, as asking "what is x" gives you the definition of x.
Or.... to avoid 2) and get it to remember x, ask "What do you remember about x?"
This needs to be improved.
