1. What is the Integration of Third-Party Assistant Notes and Lists?
Google Assistant, which is available on a variety of devices including smart speakers, smart displays, and smartphones, enabled users to integrate third-party note-taking apps for voice commands. This integration allowed users to use their voices to create and edit lists and notes. Google Keep, Any. do, AnyList, and Bring Shopping Lists are among the apps that are supported.

2. How Will Users Be Affected by the Removal of Third-Party Integration?
According to a 9to5Google report, users will no longer be able to create lists or take notes using third-party apps on Google Assistant-enabled devices. AnyList developers confirmed that Google is discontinuing the Google Assistant Notes & Lists integration for non-Google apps. This means that users will be unable to use AnyList to take notes via Google Assistant.
However, Google has assured users that the integration with their own note-taking app, Google Keep, will be unaffected. Users will still be able to use their voice to create notes and lists in Google Keep.

3. Google’s Attempts to Improve Third-Party Integration
While third-party Assistant Notes and Lists integration is being phased out, Google is actively working to improve the overall integration of third-party apps with Google Assistant. They are encouraging app developers to include native voice command support. This means that in the future, developers will be able to seamlessly integrate their apps with Google Assistant’s voice commands on a variety of Android devices, including smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, TVs, and more.
While some users may be disappointed by the discontinuation of third-party Assistant Notes and Lists integration, Google’s efforts to improve native integration and voice command support show promise for an improved user experience in the future. Although third-party note-taking app functionality will no longer be available through Google Assistant, users can continue to use Google Keep for note-taking. Users can expect a more unified ecosystem in which their favourite apps and services seamlessly integrate with Google Assistant’s voice commands as development continues.
