In iDrive 7, we could save relationships (mom, dad, brother, etc) so the personal assistant would recognize those when I said something like "Call my brother" etc. I don't see a way of doing that in 8.5. Am I missing a setting somewhere? I assume the answer is no, given that it hasn't come up in any search I've done, but I thought I'd ask.

If not, is there any clear way to train the personal assistant? It can't recognize the difference between similar but different names, and it's getting annoying (after only 3 days!).

I'm pretty sure that the Relationships are not in ID8.5. I recall them in ID6, and they annoyed me actually, as you could only set them via voice control (no UI settings for them), and they interfered with my phone contacts.

"It can't recognize the difference between similar but different names, and it's getting annoying (after only 3 days!)."

Yep. that's about right. I find nothing intelligent about the Intelligent Pers. Ass. Try the "Fresh Air" command for climate control (to bring in outdoor air). Half the time it responds by changing to the Hair Nation SiriusXM station (even when I'm not on a media screen).🧑🏼*🎤🤘🏼
