Is there a way I can use the Google Assistant to avoid Siri for basic functions? I have the app installed, but I do not see a hot word I can use to activate it while the screen is off. Siri really annoys me because she misunderstands stuff or she cannot provide accurate info to basic queries.

She told me about JFK when I needed info about a Florida airport.

Maybe you could say, "Hey, Seri. Activate Google assistant for me.? ;)
