Yep, it, Google Now, Siri, Voice Actions (Android), Cubic, Ubi, Alexa, and others are assistants, NOT chat bots to carry a conversation.
In most instances, my smart phone is able to field any question from my location, directions, time/date/day, best pizza place, etc.
I have found other pretty good ones but also would rather not discuss them here on Robert's UltraHal Assistant Forum.
