For starters, you can add an email address, phone number or link to a reminder. Following that, you can also add a reminder to pick up your friend at the airport, or perhaps to begin packing for your trip to San Francisco, or perhaps to watch a video. Assists can also provide you with your friend’s flight status, a weather report for the current locality, or even a link to that video.
Of course, to make Assists work, plenty of work needs to be done underground, where phone numbers and business hours hail from Google Maps and customer support numbers from Google’s Knowledge Graph. Other contacts alongside different emails will also help Inbox provide Assists. [Press Release]
