would have appreciated a real demo...<p>Per usual, the media will go crazy with this marketing/promoesque video, and ignore the actual state of the tech.
I want an assistant than can do things I can't do. I'm perfectly capable of switching on the lights or making my own toasts or letting my parents in. What I really want is an assistant that can do my taxes or find a damn good leather repair shop to come and pick up my couch that needs repairing. (Not so easy when you're not fluent in the native language!)
Vacuum the living room... Open the garage door... Mow the lawn... Switch TV to HBO... Compose an email with Jarvis...<p>There are a lot of things I'd like to have my personal assistant do, along with the proper connection to some real equipment. I hope this finally gets past being a gimmick. Maybe Zuckerberg will help to spawn the market.

I've checked my calendar a couple times and nope, it's not April. This is also not on funnyordie.com so severely confused. The only possible real applications in this video are already done well by siri/google/alexa .. so he's either entering a well established market late or just talking about a pet project?
