Saying “hey dingus, add $item to the shopping list” is a killer feature for me. It’s so much easier than adding something manually on your phone (especially if you have your hands full cooking). Reminders and timers are something I use too. It’s also pretty good for playing music when you don’t have something particular in mind: “play some classical music” for example. It’s definitely something I could live without, but even Apple’s speaker is pretty cheap. Especially so if it’s your main speaker (if you care about audio quality it might be a problem, but I don’t so it’s not).
