A local model that can do better than Siri or Alexa as a personal or home assistant is, in my eyes, very useful. Being able to run on a phone or watch or glasses translates to me, low-powered AI, and not necessarily that I want my phone, or watch, or glasses to run things for me.

My Siri use has narrowed down to just setting timers. And even then, I still have my phone call people in the middle of the night. Siri is pretty dumb and does not do what I want it. I’d rather be able to customize an assistant to myself.

I am also thinking of automation in my day to day workflow for work.

OK.. but what would you have all this "automation" actually do? What is Siri failing to do that you want it to do? How would customizing an assistant (for whatever definition) help?
