I thought the same thing. I had a spare iMac sitting around so I thought I would kick the tires on it. I realize I could have used something else, but I wanted to give it iMessage access. I have to say, it's just better enough than a few things I have tried to really give me a glimpse of what is possible and make me excited. I am nervous about handing over a computer, my accounts, data, etc to a tireless bot that can destroy my life for a year on accident, but regardless I think this is startling good and fairly polished.
What’s the main use case for you or feature with the greatest promise?
It's only been a few days and I am still exploring, but my household has two adults and three kids all with very busy, individual schedules, and one of the nicest features was setting up a morning text message to everyone with reminders for the day. It checks school schedules, test reminders, sports events, doctor's appts (I am in PT), and adds personal context assuming it has access to it (it usually does). I understand much of this probably could have been done for a while, but this seems like the nicest packaged up assistant that I have tried.
