I'll bite.

Have you ever been getting a haircut, and the hair dresser had to stop to pick up the phone to make an appointment?

Have you ever go to actually pick up a pizza at a small pizzeria and noticed that from 4 employees, 3 are making pizzas, and one is 99% of their time on the phone?

Every single business that you've ever used in your life would be better off with an Alexa that can handle the 99% most common user interactions.

In fact, even small pizzerias and hair salons nowadays are using third-party online booking systems with chat bots. Larger companies are able to turn a 200 people call center into a 20 man operation by just using an Alexa to at least identify customers and resolve the most common questions.
