Top activities via smart speakers in the United States 2022, by generation

In a 2022 survey by far the most common usage of a smart speaker or smart assistant was to ask general questions. This was common among all age groups though those over 55 were far more likely to ask general questions than the others. Among those under 34 the second most common usage was to shop retail for items. for those in the middle-age bracket the second most common use was for home security monitoring. Lastly those of 55 or over used their smart speakers mostly to manage their heating. Partly this can be understood as those under 34 lacking enough property to worry about security and those above 55 being more concerned with their health than any monitoring.
