Nothing against this application personally, but I still do not understand the appeal of "personal assistants." If I want the weather, I click my weather app icon and see it instantly. If I want an Uber, I click Uber and request one instantly.
I don't see the benefit of adding another layer between me and my desired action. This is especially the case when the smart personal assistant doesn't understand my request, in which case I'll usually just abandon the whole thing. Only took a few times trying to get Siri to do something and I haven't used it for anything besides timers in years.
- michaelmior 9y agoFor simple tasks like that, maybe I would agree. But as tasks get increasingly more complex, they take longer to do manually and the assistant ends up significantly reducing the work to do the action. For example, "play Skrillex on Spotify" Manually I would have to find Spotify, go to the search, type in Skrillex, etc.
