I’m struggling a bit to think what this convenience and features might be. What sort of things were you thinking of?

From a mass-market perspective:

- Amazon's Alexa: I am willing to put a microphone and/or camera into one or more areas of my home so that I can do things without pulling my phone out of my pocket.

- Google Gmail: I am willing to give you full access to the text of my emails so that I don't have to pay for an email service.

- Facebook: I am willing to give you a massive amount of information over what I do on a day-to-day basis in order to facilitate my social life.

Things along those lines.
