On my Motorola Edge Plus 2023... How can I verbally make inquiries about things that are already on my Google calendar or even add new events verbally to the calendar?

I thought that I once read you had to link to something to accomplish this, but I can't remember or find it.

Any suggestions or help are appreciated.
 
I pasted your question into a Google search field and it returned these suggestions.

To verbally manage your Google Calendar, use Google Assistant. You can add events by saying things like "Add a meeting to my calendar" or "Schedule an event for me on Saturday at 8 PM". To inquire about your schedule, you can ask, "When's my first meeting today?" or "What's my agenda for August 1?". [1]
Adding Events: [1, 1, 2, 2]

  • Activate Google Assistant: Say "Hey Google" or use the Google Assistant on your device. [1, 1, 2, 2]
  • Use voice commands: Say things like: [1, 1]
    • "Add a meeting to my calendar" [1, 1]
    • "Schedule an event for me on Saturday at 8 PM" [1, 1]
    • "Add an event called Birthday Dinner" [1, 1]
  • Follow the prompts: Google Assistant will guide you through the process of entering the event details, including date, time, location, and description. [1, 1, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6]
Inquiring about your schedule:
  • Activate Google Assistant: Say "Hey Google" or use the Google Assistant on your device.
  • Use voice commands: Ask questions like:
    • "When's my first meeting today?"
    • "Where's my next event?"
    • "What's my agenda for August 1?" [1, 2]
Tips: [1, 1]
  • Ensure sync: Make sure your Google Calendar is synced with Google Assistant and your devices. [1, 1]
  • Use natural language: Google Assistant is designed to understand natural language queries. [1, 1, 2, 2]
  • Check for suggested events: On a smart display, you may see suggested events based on your search and location. [2, 2]
I find that it is usually more about how commands and inquires are phrased. Finding the right way to ask the question is vital so I asked Google if there was a list of commands and inquiry phrases. Looks like there are 2 lists.

Yes, while there isn't one definitive, all-encompassing list, Google provides various resources with example commands and functionalities for its Assistant. You can find examples on the Google Help website and through resources like CNET and Google Assistant. These resources cover a wide range of commands, including: [1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6]
