I have two young kids, complicated health and a demanding international job. A simple calendar app is more than adequate. No "intelligence" required. And why is your bot listening in to your discussion with the repair person, did you ask their permission first? What else is it listening to, and who is profiting off that information?
I get that it's a fun toy, but you really have some big blind spots to paint this stuff as acceptable, let alone desirable.
Oh, I didn't say it was acceptable or desirable. I guess that's why the downvotes.
I think that's what they're advertising, as opposed to the people who think it's a deep plot to hook kids or something.
The free shared group calendar that comes with my stuff is all I use for a similar setup. Only thing I wish it had was a better ability to notify me if someone else added an event, since I regularly have conversations with contractors or whatever where I say anytime should be fine, and then immediately have to backpedal when checking the calendar.
But for clarification, I don't want what I described and I don't think they can actually do most if any of what they imply with these backhanded advertisments.
I just think "manage the schedules of a busy family" is one of the most tried "wholesome" advertising gambits.
