My wife and i use it as a replacement for google home to set timers, reminders, add stuff to calendars, control the lights etc. We have a shared todo list we call generically "jira" we vibe coded together and track stuff that way. And then of course the daily briefing. We manage our grocery shopping list by sending it/them photos of it and it will tell me what I missed/forgot and I can go do a second pass through the store. Basically all the google productivity software we used to use, but customized for our family specifically and not wired into some trillion dollar marketing thing, and it all works via voice control. Rather than manage it at home in my down time, I manage it in the car while stuck in traffic via voice. We're going to experiment with migrating to hermes agent soon though.
