A kitchen surfaces concept could work. Basically something that's a TV monitor (regular TV, YouTube, Roku compatible, etc.), an interactive recipe guide, a kitchen timer, a calendar, and a broadcast station. Basically combines all those functions into one device that's about monitor sized or a bit smaller.

The device would need to work alongside a phone. For example someone adds something to their shopping list and the device asks if the person if they want to send the shopping list to their phone. Or perhaps there's a dinner party, so the device is a functional place to store a complex menu as well as a place to send reminder invites to party guests. Or simply to send a message from the kitchen to other parts of the house to call people together for a meal. At a very basic level its just a TV to play in the background and watch once in a while.

My vision of what might work is to enable people to do the same functions in the same space (kitchen), but using one piece of technology which can interact with other devices (in the home, and / or beyond). Its beyond what Alexa or Google Home does, bigger than a cellphone (but not truly mobile), and combines a number of functional elements into one device.
