It depends. A chatbot is kinda gimmicky, I agree. But stuff like ocr, reverse image seach from current screen, voice to text and probably more can be nicely combined into one assistant app. Google assistant used to come close to that, so did the old Cortana (although not quite as versatile). They didn’t reinvent the wheel but they were genuinely convenient.

And it’s always been trash. That’s how you know it will always be there in the future too.
