Despite being a hands-free connection to potentially any element of an individual's digital life, the most popular use for DHAs is currently playing music (63%).

Voice-operated digital home assistants could revolutionise the way we interact with technology and potentially any element of the smart home. However, for the moment at least, their appeal appears to be very limited, as is how they're being used.

There's a lot of conversation around voice-activated home assistants, however, according to new data from GfK, there is currently very little conversation actually with devices like Amazon Echo or Google Home.
