I agree, the real deal would be an AI assistant that actively learns and remembers everything important about you, and can access and utilize all that information when having a conversation, while also having access to external services, your calendar and so on.

I wouldn't be comfortable running that as a cloud-service though. Should be open source and run at home on my own machine.

Right, because if someone else is running it, you can be sure you're getting served thinly veiled ads, something someone else wishes you'd want, rather than something you really like.
