Where it really shines for me is playing the latest podcast on YouTube or continuing a Netflix show where I left off.

Being able to say "Watch Breaking bad on the living room TV" and have Netflix pop-up and start playing right where I left off, or being able to say "play the latest off topic podcast on the bedroom TV" and have it startup right away is really nice.

I've also got a lot of home automation stuff so that combined with telling it to turn lights on/off is fantastic.

My nightly routine is to tell it to turn the bedroom lights on, get ready for bed, tell it to play the show I'm watching, then when I'm in bed and comfy tell it to turn all lights off.
