Rambler is fine, but what it really needs is slow talk mode.
My dad can’t even use these voice assistants because he takes too long to formulate and say his request and the ai just stops listening partway in and gives a useless answer.
Not everyone is a fast talking tech bro.

It’s bad enough humanity is slowly forfeiting it’s skills in favor of AI convenience. Now with Rambler were making features actively training us to not be able to even form basic sentences or thoughts. WALL-E is literally coming true.
