The purpose of this button is so that players can be assisted by pulling up information or tips without losing momentum in the game. The AI button however did not perform as expected.
In the update released by Google, the company confirmed that it has added “some Google Assistant functionality for your Stadia Controller.” Players who are using it via Chromecast Ultra now will be able to use it however it only works on the Stadia home screen and is not usable during games.”
