I have a Pixel 7.
For months now I've been using Keep for notes I enter by voice through Google Assistant. It now longer works correctly.
Please help. Thanks in advance.
### Here's what I used to do
Press the Assistant button, say "take a note"
Assistant says, "alright, what would you like it to say"
I say, "get a new phone" or whatever
Assistant says, "alright, I've saved your note".
And the note shows up in Keep, either through my phone or through the web.
Life was grand.
### Here's what happens now
Press the Assistant button, say "take a note"
Assistant says, "alright, what would you like it to say" (or sometimes "What do you want it to say?")
I say, "get a new phone" or whatever
_Assistant says "Alright, which app do you want to use?"_
_OMG_
I have to say "Keep".
### What I want it to do
NOT FREAKING ASK ME WHAT APP TO USE EVERY FREAKING TIME!
#### What I've done to try to fix it.
* Reboot - didn't help
* Open Assistant Settings, verify Google Keep is checked - yes Keep is selected.
* Open Assistant Settings, disable notes and lists, reenable - didn't help
* Open Assistant Settings, disable notes and lists, reboot, reenable - didn't help
* Install some other Notes and Lists provider - tried to install another list app. Didn't make a difference
* Tried Gemini - OMG, near as I can tell, Gemini doesn't even know what a note is. Switched back to Assistant. Still didn't fix the issue.
* Remove Keep, reinstall - same problem
### Possibly related
Immediately prior to this behavior I installed an additional Gmail account in the Gmail app. I had three accounts installed, taking a note by voice worked fine. Installed a fourth account, and taking a voice by note started asking which app. Correlation does not imply causality, so I don't know that this was the cause. But for what it's worth, I uninstalled the fourth account, and it didn't fix the issue.
## Addendum
It works correctly in the car, through Android Auto.
