Actions for Your Community Competition

At our Google I/O Roundup in May, anyone that wants can present the app they built for a chance to win prizes and bragging rights! It can be anything, but if possible, something that benefits the community (you can use any definition of "community"). Need some ideas?

Ok Google, when will the street car be at 19th street?
Hey Google, when is my trash day?
Ok Google, find me a spot to park downtown.
