I'd expect my assistant to know a fair amount about me and the current context. Using those clues a human can pick out what I really care about, at least in most cases. Even when there is a list of responses I'd expect an assistant to give a better summary when asking for clarification.

Certainly learning my preferences is an important component of a personal assistant. e.g. I almost always go to the airport using a particular service.
That said, for those of us who don't have personal admins, there's a lot of opportunity for digital services that fall between purely self-service travel booking as it exists today and and having an assistant.
