For all of the investment dollars that Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Apple have funneled into developing smart speakers, their users aren’t actually using these devices to do anything interesting.
According to a new report released by Activate, the majority of smart speaker owners just use them for a small set of mundane functions, like playing music, getting the weather, or setting alarms. Even super users, who use their devices at least three times a day, aren’t requesting tasks that require much intelligence.
