Ask HN: What are some ways people use voice assistants to be more productive?

2 pointsjulianeon2 comments

An obvious one is, if I have I task that should takes 20 minutes, I can set a 20 minute timer to timebox it.

What are some other ways people use Google Assistant, Alexa, or Siri to be more productive?

I tell Siri something while holding the phone and immediately press the power button once my voice registers to stop her annoying voice replies. Works great for things like setting alarms, throwing something on your calendar.

Am I the only one who hates talking to computers?
