This doesn’t have to be for complex or really critical tasks to have value. Just having it able to work a smart home or do basic things while talking natural is a big deal and a big increase in useful interface. I really like my Alexa - I love the _idea_ of a conversation interface, except an Alexa isn’t that. It’s a call and response only. I’d love to be able to talk to a computer out loud conversationally that can take actions / give me info. Even convos as simple as ‘Hey what’s the weather tomorrow’ ‘Tomorrow will be 25c and raining’ ‘What time will it rain?’ ‘Not until 4pm’ This simple stuff is currently WAY outside the abilities of any ‘smart’ assistant.

You can get that today with ChatGPT plugins aside from the voice part. But I assume OpenAssistant can do it now if it's properly configured. Certainly with a weather API and the new ChatGPT API functions thing you can build that in a few days or less. Combine it with Whisper or Google voice input and Eleven Labs very realistic speech output. I think there are quite a few groups with demos that can handle that particular weather thing and basics like it now. Actually Google Assistant probably can handle follow ups to some degree.

  Would first need to let chatGPT do a separate call to figure out what API to invoke.
