> My biggest problem with “OK Google” is that I don’t know by heart what it can do interactively

Maybe it’s just me but this feels unaddressed and that seems ridiculous.

Why is it so hard for me to find a single, precise location on my phone with an enumerated list of every command Siri or Google can work with?

Third party integrations?

It's both a static list (available to everyone) and a dynamic list (available only to you).

Having seen all the dead products at Google. Who would get rewarded for this/compensated? Would the complexity in building the list increase ongoing costs with an unclear return on investment?

It would change constantly over time, and would eventually become very large. It's an interesting idea, though, a school subject on how to interact with your AI. Lots of grammer, machine learning theory, culture, a bit of security, etc, to second guess it.

Presumably, there is a list somewhere in Google’s internal documentation. All we’re asking for, is for them to copy and paste it from that documentation, clean it up a bit, and post it online.

It also annoys me that there's no (obvious) meta-interactions with most smart assistants to explore what's possible. I can't easily ask "can you do X?" or "what can you do with Y?"

I remember an Asimov short story in which scientists developed a machine that could see backward in time.

If I recall correctly, the upshot was the government became terrified because any machine that can see 1000 years into the past can also see 1000 milliseconds into the past and therefore functionally be used to spy on anyone in real time.

I think the passive part of this could be really interesting - starting with a simple "tag cloud" of keywords by frequency linking to audio snippets that mention them, it'd provide a way to index conversations during the day for future reference (or processing).
