I would if Siri worked for basic use cases. I tried to create a timer on my Mac with Siri and it couldn't even do that. Sad really.

Why don't you make your own? It occurred to me the other day to do this. I want some experience with hardware, so I'm going to install a microphone next to a drawer and a speaker on the drawer itself. I'll be using a Raspberry Pi and figure out what else I need, if anything, as I go. I'll be using it for the main thing I talk to Google for: to manage time.

I hate the fact that I can't tell Google to cancel an alarm for example. If I say "Cancel my alarm". It should ask back - if there are multiple alarms - "which alarm would you like to cancel?"."List alarms" should answer back with my alarms. "Cancel my alarms" should return "Would you like to cancel all of them?". That kind of thing.

If I ever have any need of invasive suggestions - which I don't - it's just encouragement to learn some DL.
