    The only use I ever found for it was setting alarms and starting timers. That was reliable, and faster than opening the app, navigating to an alarm, and manually setting it.

    I disabled my assistant entirely though. Setting alarms a little faster is not enough to justify it.

      It’s especially useful in the kitchen when you’ve got raw egg on your hands. Or when you want to check the weather in the morning while getting dressed.

      I also have mine controlling stuff like lamps and HVAC when I’m out of the house, so I can turn on the AC before I get home.

        Turning AC on and off actually consumes more power then just leaving it on to do its job.

        I also just wash my hands, and look out the window. But that’s me.
