Google Assistant can now help you find local home services

Google Assistant is always learning new tricks, and today Google confirmed that its digital helper now has another skill.

Google Assistant can now help you find local home services, including a plumber, electrician, and house cleaner. Simply say something like "Ok Google, find me a plumber" and Google Assistant will ask some follow-up questions and then show you a few local options.

These cards will show info like the name of the business, its rating, the city it's located in, and its hours. You can select one and Google Assistant will give you more details on that particular business, complete with a button to call it.

This feature will roll out to Google Assistant on Android and iPhone users in the U.S. over the coming week.
