Don't.
Don’t provide instructions like “say a time of day”.
Suggestions in the chips:
Use chips to suggest answers.

Do.
Provide popular answers in the chips. If there are multiple categories, try to provide one example of each.

Don't.
Don’t put suggestions in both the spoken prompt and the chips. It makes the spoken prompt unnecessarily time consuming.
Hints and discoverability
