If I would be in this space I would just build voice assistant to very specific situations where you cannot type like driving, cooking, doing some sport etc. There is lots of potential but big players are kinda trying build generic tool for every situation which is super hard problem.

You want utility. The big players want a product that can be monetized and milked for revenue.

My Alexa asked me today if I wanted an Avatar theme. No I really do not, Alexa. I was reminded of the article a few days ago how they can’t monetize this well and are somehow losing $10 billion. :)
