Imagine that you have a light that has a special switch which you can operate with a remote control. It’s easy to imagine since you could turn TVs on and off with remotes for decades.

Now imagine that you have a box that has remote controls for all your lights and appliances built inside, into one. The box has a bunch of buttons on it, and if you press KITCHEN, the lights in your kitchen turns on or off.

Google and Amazon made these personal assistant apps that can analyze what you say. So, what if instead of physical buttons, you can get them to press digital ones?
