While the backend seems great, the Google assistant UI for this on Android is terrible.

For example, long press the home button, say whats this song, hum a song, it gives 3 suggestions, click a suggestion, click the YouTube link to hear it, click twice back to try another one of the three... And Google assistant has lost all state and no longer shows the 3 results. And if I "swipe up to see your snapshot" it crashes and dumps me back at the launcher...

Did they not even test this? Being able to do back and forward navigation without leaving the user on a random screen is like app design 101, and you can totally write unit tests for it.
