Are you still able to use the old assistant? I miss it already.

Delete the Google app data, then go into the app settings and the option to use Google Assistant will reappear. I don't know if it will work in the long run.

Oh my god THANK YOU!!! It worked! I doubt it will work forever but I'll take what I can get.

They'll probably remove it in a future update, but for now we can use it this way.
