Quick commands for Bixby

Do you use Bixby Voice 'Quick commands' feature? This is one of the quickest way to toggle the settings and carry out more complex functions required for your Note 8 (available for S8, S8+ as well).

For example, I have set a Quick command (some are default ones) 'Going out' and modified it to,
1) Turn on Data.
2) Put phone on Vibrate mode.
3) Set the media volume to min.
4) Turn off Wi-Fi.
And it automatically does all these when I say 'Going out'.
I have also assigned the command 'I'm home' and it does the opposite of that.
There are a variety of quick commands available - lot of possibilities !!

I think, this is how a voice assistant should have always been. It's an 'assistant' which should assist you in addition to the weather, reminders, calls etc. and Bixby does such additional things efficiently as compared to Google Assistant and Siri.
And Bixby is still in beta....imagine the future possibilities !!

Do you use Quick commands? If yes, what's your favorite ones?

I wasn't aware it could do that but I'll definitely be checking it out now! Thanks for the heads-up!
