I’d be worried the service that suggests a roofing company or Italian restaurant would go to the highest bidder. That is, it would only contact the big nation wide chains, who pay apple & amazon, over the small local companies that give better service for half the price.
That’s already the case when you use Google maps or Google search, but it feels like you’d have less control by giving the AI a single instruction
Here’s a photo of what’s left in the fridge. Order my groceries online for the week and email the proposed recipes.
I need to get a present for X, please order it.
I think part of the problem, is those offering AI currently, have an ulterior motive. For instance, personal assistants like Google. They made it worse as there was less chances to advertise. Alexa can buy stuff, but only on Amazon. I want an assistant that is loyal to me, not to the company providing it. If I order groceries, I want it to check pricing and buy the best value with most convenient drop off. It’s getting infuriating that you have to go through 20 steps for many services before you find out the final price and timing.
I want a personal assistant that actually works. Like Siri or Alexa, but it can actually do secretarial tasks.
“Find and schedule a roofing company to come fix the roof”
“See if you can get me dinner reservations for a nice Italian restaurant tomorrow night at 630”
“Write an email to bob apologizing for running over his dog”
“Find an image on the internet of a person being mauled by a bear, edit the picture so that it’s James being mauled, and send picture to him”
“Find a new show for me to watch and torrent the first episode, re-dub it in Japanese with Spanish subtitles”

No I want it to run locally
So… Judging from your requests I’m going to guess you are part of the Italian Maffia working abroad.
And Silexa will even automatically send notes to the SPCA, police, and your ISP!
