Yeah, people already have phones. This is could just be a phone app.

  Part of me just wants to get rid of my phone if I get a device that does the actually useful things. Get info about something, checks and sends messages in a smart way, checks the bus. Most of the other stuff is just idling. I don't expect I would idle in the same way with an actually good assistant that respects me. But then I'd prefer an open source Wikipedia/Wikimedia like organisation behind it.

    The apple watch can already Pay, music, communication without a phone. Siri itself is lacking but I expect that to change with an LLM soon. You can already lock down your phone to prevent distracting apps. I've skeptical that people would actually choose to go without a phone in favor of this

This requires an always-on device, or always-in-the-cloud server processing your data and pushing updates to your device. The former is limited by physics (battery), the latter is limited by how much data you want accessed from the cloud. Neither are solved by open source.

      Could be a self hosted home device for the big power requirements.
