Who's got it on their phones? Instead of the normal Google on Tap?
It's awesome!

I've been mucking around with it in Google Duo, which is open to everybody to install on any Android phone. It's ok: you can ask it to tell you a joke at the same time each day, or a random fact. Maybe a bit of a midday perk-up?

Not available for Android Lollipop so no.

Understandable it won't roll out to old phones on old software.

Yup. In the words of Miss Piggy, listen to what I mean and not to what I say
Can't remember now, but can you use the assistant to control other phone features, e.g. "play some music"

so did a test now... from phone home screen "play some music": google play music opened and started playing music
"skip this song", got the reply "okay" and then the next song started playing
"go back to the previous song", got the reply "okay" and then the previous song started

I've been using it for about two weeks now. Very nice, I love it. I like telling it to sing me a lullaby or happy birthday, or just ask it random stupid questions.

Will give this a bash later https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-get-Google-assistant-on-Android-Lollipop
Jokes on Google for not rolling it out to older Android versions and making updategate worse. The stuff fanie mentioned I could already do on Google now anyway. Heck I can even turn on/off settings like Wifi, flashlight etc.
