    Phone assistants responding to you in the same volume of voice you used to address them.

      This would require a way of judging the distance you’re speaking from. Calling out from another room might get a whispered response, and vice versa.

        This seems solvable. There are differences in pitch between a nearby whisper and a distant shout.

          I agree, but I wouldn’t call it a “no-brainer.”

            Maybe not. I’ve heard of apps that can detect mood and I imagine being able to tell that someone is sad from the tone of their voice should be more challenging than picking up the relative difference in inflection, quality of overtone saturation, application of the built in compressor, etc.
