It sounds nice at a first glance, but how useful is it actually? Anyone got real, non-hypothetical use cases that outweigh the risks?

My experience. I have it running on my desktop with voice to text with an API token from groq, so I communicate with it in WhatsApp audios. I Have app codes for my Fastmail and because it has file access can optimize my Obsidian notes. I have it send me a morning brief with my notes, appointments and latest emails. And of course I have it speaking like I am some middle age Castillian Lord.

    How is that adding value to your life or productivity in any way? You just like working via text message instead of using a terminal? I don't get it. What do you do when it goes off the rails and starts making mistakes?

      I tell him: Summarize this article for me, and generate a note in Obsidian with the insights. Create a shopping list with these items, remind me tomorrow to call someone... Standard PA stuff. It never went off the rails yet.

Here's an actual idea.

With this, I can realistically use my apple watch as a _standalone_ device to do pretty much everything I need.

This means I can switch off my iphone, keep use my apple watch as a kind of remote to my laptop. I can chat with my friends (not possible right now with whatsapp!), do some shopping, write some code, even read books!

This is just not possible now using an apple watch.
