Somehow it boggles my mind this is not provided by Google by default.

I am pretty sure plenty of people are missing tons of features because they don't know it exists. I don't think trying everything (with some latency) until you got some good answer is a nice way to discover/explore.

While I agree, I think the idea is that you don't need a list of commands in order to use the service. Instead you're encouraged to speak naturally - of course with varying results but I guess Google sees this as favorable compared to suggesting a manual/reference is needed.

"Speaking naturally" to Google Now for me means it's just going to google random stuff instead of doing actions. Even things like "Play next song" will make it google that term instead of switching songs.

"Play next song" is not speaking naturally.

Woosh. Missed the point entirely.

I understand the rationale but I have the feeling we are still "not there", and in the mean time, this is kinda lacking.

So thanks to op to provide a starting point. I'll definitely use it.

Speaking naturally results in the thing doing something completely different from what I wanted. Once that happens a few times, I give up and stop wasting my time.

For people like me, without documentation it's just another pile of garbage on the side of the road.
