Serious question, and not meant to be snarky, but what is it doing , in terms of a personal assistant, that couldnt be done with some inbox cleanup, a couple of phone shortcuts, and siri/alexa/whatever google has?

Mine is not connected to any of that. It is only connected to my Obsidian vault. Daily habits are reminded and checked off. It asks about calories etc. Think more of a manager or accountability partner than 'email on steroids.' I use it to track personal projects primarily. Lots of other tools could accomplish task tracking, but this one is more proactive than those. If you read my other comments today you will see I am not an openclaw-maxi.

Siri/Alexa/gemini are severely limited in what they can do/access because they wanna protect the brand.
