I learned from experience that it cannot recover from cat nibbles

Enabling it completely breaks Reminders, btw. Or at least it has so far for me. It won't let me set a reminder and previously set reminders don't send a push notification. Other assistant things like timers and playing songs seems to hand off to Assistant correctly.

Edit: they seemed to have fixed this. Reminders function normally now.

I'm now sitting partially inside my couch's end table. My wife just fell down the stairs.
