The whole point of the assistant is to automate the manual steps ๐Ÿค”

While true, I think those two steps are simple enough as is and really aren't improved by a digital assistant

Then what's the point of the digital assistant?

Seriously, people in the comments seem to have drunk so much google coolaid it isn't even funny. It's an obvious bug that doesn't let your "digital assistant" setup something that you personally would be able to setup.

There isn't a rationale here, there isn't some hidden tech, it's just shitty design.

It was not my aim to defend Google on my first remark, only to gently mock what seems a triviality. I found this post among gloomy world news, out of its proper context. Such a contrast can make anything seem absurd.
