The hardware might be nice, the voice recognition might be on par and the manufactures of wifi connected might be happy to create specific “skills”, but it can only provide a fraction of what “OK Google” can already provide. The “Skills” provide a disjointed unnatural communication with the device and are often too specific to be useful. The echo has the potential to be a great bit of kit, but its operating software appears to have been thrown together without any thought of design. Effort should have been made to maintain a flow of communication, something keyword activated boltons do not.
