The demo video shows quite how rough around the edges this is....
Doesn't quite stop fast enough when you interrupt it. Can't find info quick enough so you have to change topic and then have it give you results later, etc.
This is a move in the right direction, but there is lots of engineering still to be done!
You're right, and to me it's refreshing to see a promo video that shows how the real product works, rather than a sanitized over-produced edit that takes out all the flaws.
I'm currently watching Better Call Saul for the first time with my wife. The fact that they used old ladies for the Ad, and that it is evident they are reading from a prompt (fake-ish feeling) gives me strong James McGill vibes haha. Hopefully the actresses were paid handsomely.

Could not agree more. We see this as the first version of a new generation; expect many improvements in the future.
As someone with a chronic eye disease that makes screens difficult, I love this voice feature. It gives me hope that, even if my disease progresses, I’ll be able to rely less on screens and screen readers for many everyday tasks in the future.
