Exactly. For instance, in the mornings Google Assistant has been really useful for when I say "OK Google, Good Morning". It then runs through and tells me:

* Current time, and weather forecast for the day

* Upcoming meetings today

* My current commute time to work, including traffic

* NPR news podcast

So during my routine of letting the dogs out, starting the coffee, etc. in the morning, I get the daily "essential" info.
