I'm a bit embarrassed to say that I use it in very narrow circumstances. I do love dictating my grocery list to Alexa, an item at a time, as I run out or realize I have very little left of something, from across the room. I also will use it for timers/alarms, which also comes in handy. She's not very good at trivia just yet, and I'm hoping that will get better with time. By that I mean, asking a random question into the air and getting an answer. Sometimes, "she" knows the answer, and sometimes not. I did purchase an Echo-compatible outlet plug, and have a lamp plugged into it that I have her turn on when we leave the house. I'm not a luddite, but not exactly 'wired' either. Trying.
