Google Assistant whose purpose lies in its name,help us with our day to day activities which ranges from set reminders, play music, fire off emails, give you directions, and tell you random facts, among other things.
The operation of Siri is almost similar to that of the Google Assistant except for the fact that the Google Assistant can actually hold a conversation.
How it's Works
Siri
Ask Siri and the Assistant the capital of Uruguay, and they'll both give you the same response. (It's Montevideo, if you were curious.) But when you ask a follow-up question, say "What's the weather like?", Siri gives you the weather at your current location. It has already forgotten the query that came before.
Google Assistant
Google Assistant, on the other hand, can handle context, which allows it to give you the weather for Montevideo, and not where you are. You can then move the conversation forward, querying the best time to visit, or the places you should see.

No 2 Advantage of Google Assistant over Siri
The way you communicate; you can chat with Google's digital assistant by either talking or typing, the latter of which Siri doesn't do. It's probably worth a mention that you could do the same inside Google's chat app, Allo, earlier but Assistant now available without that convolution, as a standalone app. The ability to type and interact means you can use the Assistant on the train, or in a meeting, without feeling like a dork.
Other Functions
Apart from the functionality listed above, it can initiate calls, provide answers or translations, play games, fetch sports scores, set timers, look up stock prices, places nearby, or the definition of any word; get flight status, your next meeting, food nutrition, or the news; and remember little nuggets of information (such as your bike lock). A lot of which is made possible by Google’s Knowledge Graph or linking into other Google apps: Calendar, Gmail, News, and so forth. It doesn’t support all of Google’s apps though, as you can’t use Inbox for emails, or Play Music for listening to music on iOS.
You can even set up shortcuts in the app settings, which helps you cut down on repeating long phrases over and over to achieve the same thing. As an example, if you love watching videos of Corgi dogs on YouTube as a pick-me-up, you can set up a shortcut phrase, say, "Cheer me up", which will then trigger the Assistant follow the much longer and complex command – “Show me Corgi videos on YouTube”.
Limitations
But at the same time, owing to Apple's baked-in restrictions, there's a lot it can also not do.
•For one, it can’t talk to other apps like Siri can. That means it can’t call an Uber, or send a message through WhatsApp. It’s also not allowed to talk directly to any system apps and services, so you won’t be able to make handsfree calls, or toggle the Bluetooth setting.
•The Google Assistant also steps into puddles of its own making on iOS. Every now and then, it tends to suggest features it can't actually do – like "Start watching Gilmore Girls on Netflix on the TV" or "Play workout music on Google Play Music" – probably because of its roots in the Google ecosystem, but this is something that needs to be fixed, as it's needlessly confusing for inexperienced users.
•And though you can play anything on YouTube, much like on Android, Assistant for iOS still hasn't been integrated with Google’s Chromecast hardware, so you can't ask it to play stuff on your TV, like you can with Google Home.
•What’s worse, for now, Google Assistant is only available via the US App Store (and in turn, only in US English), so its availability is limited at best. And thanks to the single language support – the Google Assistant is available in English (India) on Android – the iOS counterpart isn’t obviously as good with picking up Indian names.
But there are ways the Assistant is also better on iPhone than Android, surprisingly. You can listen to the news on iOS, and even customise your preferred news sources in the settings. If you ask the Assistant to “listen to the news” on Android, it starts searching for music called “the news” on Play Music, funnily enough.
