But as smart as the Home and Google Assistant is, none of the things it does are proactive — at least, not yet. They all require me to ask it to do something. A true assistant would know when I need to wake up in the morning based on my schedule, or know when I need to leave for my next meeting. It would know that I typically go grocery shopping on Sundays and would have a list of usual things I buy ready to go in the morning and ask me if there’s anything I’d like to add. Even better, it’d place an order for those groceries for me, so they’d be delivered to my door automatically.<ref>SEIFERT, Dan. Google Home review: Home is where the smart is.

Many of the features that have been missed, such as the proactive assistance mentioned above by Seifert, are currently under development, however, and even more are likely to come in the future.<ref>PRIEST, David. 5 ways Google Home just got better.
