Here is a collection of how my Google Home and Amazon Alexa, make me more productive or perhaps more lazy at times:
- Implement Pomodoro with Google Home Routines - inspired by this blog
- Add events to my calendar and also send invites to relevant contacts
- Checks what's on my calendar for the day
- Play music with Spotify
- Turn on and off various lamps and lights around the home
- Inform me of stock prices
- Translate words from Mandarin to English and vice-versa
- Checking the weather
- Checking sports scores and results
Still to come:
- Automatically dial into Google meetings
- Call friend's family for handsfree and battery free experience away from the mobile phone (the advantage over the mobile is that it can provide a better quality speaker phone)
