Have you taught Alexa any home skills or reminders?

I liked Alexa.
now google home is here at times.
In a few months Lily will be around to teach me stuff.
Siri was never welcome.

All have nice features, and bad ones.

Everything started here when i started monitoring my elec consumption.
than i started using smart plugs.
then alexa.
then smart lighting.
sold alexa and got cheap googles.
the speakers are alright.

google is more boring than alexa and more stupid and resilient in her wrong answers.

alexa is far smoother and feels more 'real'.

google answers a lot more "i can't do that yet." and is worse at follow-up questions.

"Alexa" is a better start word than "ok google" or "hey google".. and you can even change the start word.

Google tries to push dutch in my house. but in dutch the lights don't work that easy.

But my google mini has better speakers. But it reboots during podcasts and i don't know why.
The microphone of alexa is better.

and alexa has a better app system.

Um, ok then, never heard of it.

Why would anyone want "artificial intelligence" in the home?

I'm quite happy pressing my own TV control, and turning on my own light switches.

Maybe I'm just hopelessly old-fashioned?
