Thankfully I was able to find an old Kindle DX (a discontinued line) on Ebay that has a 9.5 inch screen which is legitimately the perfect size for PDF books & papers. Super happy that I was able to find one for pretty cheap. I'd suggest keeping an eye out online for one of these if you don't want to break the bank for PDF suitable ereader.

There are a decent number of companies that use NLP voice recognition when you call their support lines. So when you call, instead of pressing a number on your key pad to move through the directory you can speak it.

In that same vein, I've seen companies that have "chat support" use NLP bots to get a feel for the type of question a person is looking for before handing off to a human support person.

I've also seen AI personal assistants that handle meeting schedules etc like https://x.ai/

This is what the whole digital government movement is trying to change. Public sector organization's in the UK (GDS), Canada (CDS, ODS etc), Singapore (GovTech Singapore), even 18F in the US, are all trying (and relatively succeeding even if incrementally) to change the public sector's ability to put out quality technology services.
