What this question tests

Tests product improvement thinking on a mature AI product, requiring a specific, high-value gap rather than a generic wishlist.

How to approach it

  1. Identify a real gap: multi-step, multi-app tasks, like booking a specific restaurant table, still fail or require falling back to a phone screen.
  2. Segment on users who rely on voice hands-free, drivers and users with accessibility needs, where screen fallback isn't a real option.
  3. Identify the pain point: the assistant handles single commands well but breaks down on tasks needing multiple confirmations or third-party app handoffs.
  4. Propose deeper task completion for a few high-value flows, restaurant booking, ride-hailing, and calendar scheduling, with reliable multi-turn confirmation.
  5. Define success as task completion rate for these flows without screen fallback, and repeat usage of voice-only completion.
