This morning I told my Google Home "Can you turn your volume all the way up?" and it did it. It maxed the volume, not just turned it up a little bit. To me, this indicates that the Google Assistant is actually pretty good at understanding intent and not just repeating exact commands. Or maybe _I'm_ just misunderstanding your definition of 'commands' and 'intents'. |

This is where a good UI can obscure the underlying thing though. Google is trying to find intent via the text of speech and that's one way to go about it for sure. It's totally valid. It's more limited, but it'll work great if there is a command that it can match it to.
But there has to be an underlying single command that is "turn volume up"
With an intent based system you can chain complex intents together and the result is the behavior of those intents interaction.
It's... ugh, I'm explaining this poorly.
Think of intents as building blocks to create something from whereas commands are just specific things. I wish I could explain this better.
