It works pretty well for me, but doesn't do nearly what I'd expect.

EG I can talk to it like I would chatgpt and it works well. But I can't be like "hey I want to get dinner with my wife on our anniversary, please book the best available option in my city for fine dining"

It's still way better than Siri, which feels like a voice CLI to me (same as Alexa, which is very low quality IME)

I don’t think I’d want to talk to a voice assistant like that. Maybe it’s a generational thing? Things like that are ambiguous enough discussing them with human beings and a big part of things like voice assistants is understanding how it’s going to interpret and execute a response based on what I say to it.
