A lot of assistant functionality is just getting data from the internet, which search engines already know how to present and format in a useful way.

If you need to go to a specific spot in the house to write some text that turns on a light it seems easier to just walk to an actual light switch? For general automation then I think there are some visual block-based configurators to set up triggers for smart appliances otherwise.

Why do I need to go to a specific spot? I have devices that take text input on my body at all times, and I sit in front of one for most of the day.
