When I got my new phone recently, I asked of it what is by a wide margin my most common voice task; setting a timer for something I was cooking.
It presented a UI suggesting it had understood the assignment, but utterly failed to actually set the timer.
It was at that point I reverted to Assistant and forgot it existed.
This feels par for the course though; a bunch of effort spent on a few “hard” tasks to make it seem impressive, but zero on maintaining existing functionality that normal people actually use on a regular basis.
Yup, my experience exactly. Couldn’t set timers or schedule meetings, and if it can’t do that it’s useless. So I switched back to assistant and never thought about it again.
