Can Google boost screen brightness via software?

Here's what brightness is set at when I'm at my desk. Definitely not 1% lol

By the way if you set the brightness by telling Google Assistant to go 50% it is not relational to setting the slider half way.
 
I don't use the verbal settings. I use the adaptive brightness but yea it's generally around 70% when I'm at my desk unless I pull the shades

I rarely change my settings and I am usually on auto. I just pointed it out because when Google made the slider change it confused people
 
That phone probably had brightness set at 1%. Screen usage does not mean squat, without knowing the brightness setting. Or by just saying left in 'auto brightness". As sitting outside or sitting near a window, auto brightness increases dramatically. If someone sitting inside away from lights, it obviously goes down and uses less battery.
Here ya go he's another day with 5 hours on screen time. Today had 90hz forced. All the usage stats and the display brightness.
