Older folks and kids feel this even more than working-age adults, and this is a product that helps everyone engage in some of the magic of tech without that noise.
We have AI now, this is a product that understands that and builds the experience around that. AI lookup > fiddling with Apps/Browsers/etc for this particular home use case. Add FaceTime, Calendar, Homekit, and a Timer and you've got the right bundle.
