Is Alexa rubbish- or is it me?

[Wishitwasstraightforward]

I have an Alexa and really hoped that 'she' would help me with my ADHD fuelled awful working memory, time blindness and generally rubbish executive function.

But I've been really disappointed. I can set an alarm for a particular time, but can't seem to do much else.

Compared to phone apps and AI her functionality seems a bit rubbish. The issue is that I fail to consistently use any phone apps so I hoped that having Alexa to talk at before a thought disappears from my brain never to be seen again would be really helpful.

Does anyone else find her ineffective WRT helping with executive function etc?

I use it a lot, my shopping list is on there, reminders, timers, dropping into the kids rooms, making birthday lists for the kids, getting answers about random stuff, she's like part of the family!
