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.

I use Good Assistant for awhile now. 463 days to be exact, it's pretty cute how you can see your "Days with Kiki" (or whatever your assistant is called) in the app.
Among the recent updates I'm really happy about how the desktop layout turned out. Working on a note or task on the left, and having a chat on the right is super-handy. The design is light, and allows for a lot of mindspace to think about what I need to think about.
Any planned updates for the notes formatting possibilities? e.g. the ability to create a table?
I also really like how I can "cowork" on the note with the Assistant. But I would like the possibility to protect some parts of the note from being edited by an Assistant when I ask it to do something. Sometimes the note ends up reformatted when Assistant touches it.

@yulia_ruda1 Great that you're already using and liking the updates! It was my goal to make the design light enough for the app to never feel too busy, I'm happy that's true for you.
Notes is where biggest updates are coming soon. I am planning the redo the text-editing completely, so it's more reliable and better to use, that will affect both iOS and web. Creating tables won't be supported for a while. But there will be new features related to working on notes together with your assistant. Like the assistant automatically knowing which note you're looking at, better indication when they are editing your note and other improvements that will make it easier to use and more understandable.
