They managed to control the tech so tightly that no potential is fulfilled and they’re boring.

Truly opened to developers they could have been really interesting and fun.

This is what happens when big companies develop technologies and think they are too valuable to share.

This also pissed me off. Why not start the day with a weather report, short news and some trivia. When I checked long time ago I didn’t find any way to integrate stuff like that together.

It's possible to do that with a morning routine in Alexa. I know this because it tells me the weather (and other things) after I kill my alarm in the morning.

If you check again now this is a out of the box feature on Google Assistant. You just say “good morning” and it tells you the time, weather, news, and more.
