It's good for hands/device free control. Setting timers while cooking by simply saying "set a timer" or controlling lights from across the room without fiddling with a phone or remote.

Set a timer's and set an alarm's the only two I ever found useful personally. I stopped using google assistant because it just legitimately stopped understanding me correctly and I got frustrated with it.
