Not an "oh shit" per se, but Gemini is a complete leap in terms of actual smarts over Google Assistant.

I was having problems getting it to parse my speech correctly when I was asking about "autolyse" (I was attempting to bake bread). All I had to do to fix it was add this to the system prompt: " I primarily interact with you via a speech to text mechanism. You should consider ways in which my words may not be accurately transcribed and attempt to infer the correct reading in context. When you do this, do not mention it - just proceed as if my words were recorded properly."

Never had that problem again. With Assistant though, if I had any issue like that I'd be waiting months or years for a fix, if it ever came.
