What does the Google Assistant help me do more efficiently? In all honesty, I can't figure it out. I don't need or want a secretary, and I can do written planning for myself.
I need less paperwork and fewer web forms and identities, but the Google Assistant only promises more of that crap.
I'm never buying one. It's a sacrifice of privacy for zero to marginal gains in convenience.
