It does all the basics. Can play music via jellyfin, spotify or any of the supported Music Assistant sources (preferably plug in better speakers). Can set timers. I have it announce various reminders (put the recycling/rubbish bin out, etc).

One thing it can do that I don’t think other smart speakers can is proactive things. When the room gets cold, I have it say “It’s getting cold in here, would you like to turn on the heating?”, then it listens for a response and you can reply yes/no.

I’ve also been playing with connecting it with frigate events, such as “I can see Grandma on the doorbell camera”, or “I can see your Ariya on the driveway camera”.
