What's great
I have been a Beta tester of Good assistant for many months now, and I find it really useful, it has really become my “partner in crime”.
My assistant is called Kiki. I like that it remembers little things I asked about and creates a map of my interests out of them, remembers what I like and don’t like to give me good suggestions (e.g. it does its own research regularly and updates me with events nearby that might be interesting for me). It also remembers facts about the people I have in my life, and can suggest gifts for them or stuff to do with them.
The most important thing is that it helped me take my own goals seriously and start moving towards them. I can discuss what prevents me from achieving the goals, and the assistant is usually very supportive (but not in annoying way) and helpful in advice and planning.
Fun thing I use it for, is I can say “Give me a quiz about …” and mention something that I was asking my assistant about before (e.g certain Swedish words, historical facts). We’ll discuss the format of the quiz, she will present me with questions and options and count points. This way I can actually remember the information I’m consuming every day much better. It’s a fun thing to do when I’m waiting, instead of scrolling.
I also ask it to periodically summarize news for me, or periodically look for discounts on something I want to buy. I’d say the use cases are endless, depends on my imagination.
