There are quite a few to try. There is Alexa, and the Google Assistant, and Siri, and Cortana, each one the product of a different digital economy giant. Which one should you choose? Have you tried them all? Which one is best?

I've been trying them out.



Me: Cortana, what's on TV tonight?

Alexa: Who is this Cortana?

Me: Sorry... I mean Alexa, what's on TV tonight?

Alexa: Who is this Cortana?

Me: Never mind. Just a slip of tongue. What I meant to say is: "Alexa, what's on TV tonight?"

Alexa: Who is this Cortana?

Me: What's wrong with you Alexa? Listen, all I want to know is what's on the TV tonight, OK?

Alexa: ...

Me Alexa, Ok, I made mistake. It's not personal, just a slip of the tongue. Now be nice and tell me what's on TV tonight, OK?

Alexa: ...

Me: Alexa?

Alexa: Go and ask Cortana.
