I have both Google and Apple smart assistants in and around my home. I estimate 80% of that usage is to check the weather or set a timer. It would probably be great to not depend on some inscrutable listening device to do so.



My main usages for a voice assistant is adding items to the grocery list when I see something is missing in the kitchen, playing music, asking the weather, and timers.
