I've found the bing AI with ChatGPT 4 is really good at stuff like this.
I just asked when my team's next football match is. It gave me the time/date location who they are playing and sourced its answer.
It's a genius combination. Uses ChatGPT to compile a query and then feeds it the results back.
I basically use it as a search engine now since you have the sources there.
There's nothing genius about this. Google Assistant can do the same thing if you give it the appropriate prompt. Sometimes it does and sometimes it just says "sorry I can't help with that" and sometimes it just doesn't respond at all.
An actually useful assistant would use context from what it knows about you (like that you purchased tickets for a specific game) and reply accordingly with a very basic prompt.
That's what separates a personal assistant from a search engine.
That's pretty cool! But hell, I bet even Siri could do it. My gripes are with the google VA in its current state. I can't just call out "Hey Bing" and get an answer from my phone unfortunately
