This feels poorly marketed. The examples like health, travel, and kid's education all have a ton of anxiety around them. Highlighting a confirm button existing is recognizing the problem, but isn't a fix.

You can see this not working in existing products. Alexa could book a flight for you in 2018. I've never heard of anyone using that feature. Travel planning can be extremely complex, so it's challenging to make people trust a tool is going to do the right thing.

Also, I know this is picky, but your mascot should not feel like it'd feature in a list of worst Olympic mascots.

Haha I actually clicked through to see the mascot, and wow, at it's best it could be a Miyazaki ghost, but at it's worst it looks like a haunted doll
