I use Alexa, Siri, and google assistant. And others don't come even close to assistant when it comes to understanding what you mean and the context. Or even understanding what I've said.

You can ask it stuff like "What's the name of the blonde actress from that new tarantino movie" and you will get the result (works on google.com too), then you can ask follow up questions about her.

This also carries over into setting reminders, controlling smart home devices. "Set a timer", "No, you know what, cancel it". It feels like talking to a person. And it sounds more like a person too.

The ONLY reason I use assistant the least of the 3, is the wake word.

'use[s] it all the time to set reminders. "Ok Google. At 2 PM next Tuesday remind me to <insert pretty much anything here>".'

I find that Siri is perfectly capable of creating reminders like this (as is Alexa), so wondered about that.

Google Assistant is definitely better about information retrieval (although, yes, the wake phrase is horrible...)
