Devices whose built-in assistant has been enhanced by AI, or whose built-in assistant has been migrated into an AI-enabled successor assistant experience, are included. Examples of smart speakers include Linglong Dingdong, Little Fish, Tmall Genie, Xiaodu speakers with DuerOS, and Xiaomi smart speakers with Xiao AI. Voice assistant use via smartphones, desktop/laptop computers, tablets, smart wearables, game consoles, TV consoles, VR headsets, cars, and nonspeaker smart home devices is excluded.
