Preliminary steps
There are a few things that you need to keep in mind before getting started. First of all, it is only possible to use Google Assistant on devices that are running Android 6.0 and above. If your device doesn’t use at least Android 6.0, you won’t be able to store notes with Google Assistant.
You also need to ensure that Google Assistant has been configured and trained to recognize your voice, prior to saving notes.

In addition, Google Keep, or the app that you want to use to take notes (and that is supported by Google Assistant) has to be installed on your device before you can start to store notes.
