After few days of evaluating I see that Gnome client is broken in several fundamental ways and unusable as of now.

    - No way to clear history, it's getting huge now and mostly consists of "Sorry, I don't understand" answers
    - When going to My Skills and back to chat, it scrolls to beginning which is frustrating.
    - Scheduled actions never actually happen.
    - In-app "training" doesn't work, returns "Sorry, I did not understand that. Use ‘help’ to learn what I can do for you." 
    - Online training _could_ work if one could learn their ThingTalk language. My usecase was simple - teach it that "throw dice" is same as random number from 1 to 6, but I could not conjure precise ThingTalk spell.
    - Screenshot, locking PC and other OS actions didn't work on XFCE. Not Almond's fault, but less usable for me.

Are authors dogfooding? It lacks quite a few quality-of-life improvements.
