I find a lot of use in mine as a voice-control system for home automation; it's great to be able to say, "OK Google, lights out!" as I head upstairs to bed.

The convenience and _naturalness_ of the interaction is just so cool!

Ironically, extremely unnatural for most "Google" interactions. Asking non-trivia questions just doesn't work very well at all.

Asking basic questions like the weather, the time, and maybe my calendar (doesn't work well with multiple calendars so while I look forward to when I can use this, I can't yet).
