In theory, your smart speaker is supposed to help you, even though it’s got no arms or legs. So when you ask it for help that involves a physical presence, you’d think that it would be able to summon someone physical in an emergency. Apparently, this needs setting up. I’m discovering this only now after three years of ownership. You’d have thought that as well as an e-mail prompt, this would be part of the set-up process. It could mention it as one of those ‘by the way’ messages you receive when you’ve finished attempting to make it do something else. It’s also supposed to be linked to your phone, but I haven’t received a single notification about setting up emergency contacts. And now that I’ve discovered this function, there doesn’t seem to be anywhere on the app that provides this feature anymore, despite there still being a listing for it on the website. Stupid machine.
