You can order your personal Google assistant to make calls, send text messages, set events, and reminders, play any song or video on YouTube, send mails, get direction to any location and give a reply to any damn thing you ask.

Siri and Google assistant are divergent as Siri comes inbuilt in Apple device whereas, Google assistant is an app just like any other app on the apple store. To use and access it you have to download it. Well, one highlighted feature that takes Google assistant ahead of Siri is turning on the flash light through voice command.
