Agents are a cool idea. The main problem with them is that the infrastructure to make them work never got adopted (except, perversely, by Facebook for targeting advertisements), so you need a bunch of fragile hand written scripts to interact with every service the agent might want to interact with. Alexia/Siri/Bixby/whatever have the additional problem that they're not your agent, they're Amazon/Apple/Samsung's sales agent.
