Are you talking about Alexa? We've got one of those (actually the full-size one plus two of the small ones they call "Dots"). We like it for the music it offers, although it doesn't offer everything, and for some artists, it hardly has any songs, but it will ask you if you want to purchase a subscription from Amazon to get more music. I said "no." It will answer some questions, and sometimes with amusing answers, but we don't use it much for that purpose. I've told it to set a timer to remind me of things. That's been handy for times when my hands were messy and I didn't want to touch my cell phone to set its timer.
We got them on sale, so I don't mind. I will say it's a little eerie to think that it could be listening to our private conversations, though, lol.
I'll have to try the Power Wagon questions.
