Updating correct Google account with nest hub command

My wife and I each have a Google account, and we also have a shared family account. 

 

How do we ensure the correct calendar, lists.... Get updated with using Google Assistant voice on the best hub.

For example, we have shared lists on Google Keep that we update via the hub.

 

When I look to update the list, it always updates my personal lists, not the family shared list, because it recognizes me and my voice. How to I tell our what accounts list to update.

 

This should be as easy as telling it what account to update, but that doesn't work and or annoying

If you want a shared shopping list, you can create a seperate list and share that list with your wife:

  1. Open the Google Home app.
  2. Tap Settings.
  3. Scroll down and tap Google Assistant.
  4. Tap Manage all Assistant settings.
  5. Scroll down and tap Notes and lists.
  6. Tap Shopping lists.
  7. Tap the 3 line menu at the top left, then tap New list.
  8. Give the list a name, then tap Create.
  9. At the top right, tap the person + icon.
  10. Add your wife, and tap Save.

Once created, either of you should be able to say "Hey Google, add [item] to my [list name] list."

Create a shopping list on your speaker or Smart Display - Google Assistant Help

If you've not done so already, you'll need to both have setup voice match:

Voice Match and media on shared Google Nest or Home devices - Google Nest Help

That way, you'll both be able to add to your own lists, add to the shared list, as well as get your own calendar and other personal results.
