I think there are many interesting use cases. Some completely unfiltered 
ideas:

* Controlling videos or audio played by your desktop through talking to 
Mycroft.
* Have selected desktop notifications spoken by a Mycroft device in another 
room.
* Starting applications on the desktop by voice control
* Interact with Akonadi on the desktop to access your emails in an intelligent 
way without having to be at the desktop or another device
* Control Mycroft configuration and behavior from the desktop
* Notifications on the desktop from Mycroft, e.g. the "lunch is ready" call 
;-)
* ...

There is a community forum at https://community.mycroft.ai/, where discussions 
around Mycroft are taking place. The people working on it are there as well as 
other interested people. There are some desktop discussions, currently mostly 
focused on Ubuntu and Unity.

In case you are interested in getting a device, you can pre-order them at

What I like about the project is that it's all based on open source and open 
hardware. That fits well what we do with KDE.
