There's a lot of little use cases. Hand free cooking stuff (set a timer, home many tablespoons in a pint). Device control, faster to turn off a TV with voice than dig for the remote, or play a playlist/skip songs. None of those really save that much more time than the old fashion way, so concerns about privacy mean things get done the old way.

I know some people like having them in if they have frailty or mobility concerns, which is probably the only really new usecase.

Definitely. We can think of connecting such basic skills with more advanced skills too. The fact that Leon has a modular architecture makes it very flexible. We just need to let our imagination drives us.
