Google has published a pair of new ads on YouTube that remind us how awesomely powerful its “Ok Google” search function is on Android. The simple yet meaningful clips demonstrate how the feature is used every day to quickly access all kinds of information.

I’m not one for talking to my phone when there’s no one on the other end of it, especially not in public. But I have gotten used to using Ok Google on a regular basis to do all kinds of simple things throughout the day — like set reminders and alarms, look things up, and even to quickly convert currencies. It’s just so useful.

Google’s new ads to a great job of demonstrating that by showing how easy it is to use voice search for different things.
