Spotlight, Automator and Siri as a replacement for Alfred

I have been using Alfred for a long time. If you have not heard about Alfred, the short description is a Spotlight on steroids. It can do a lot, but you have to write your own Workflows or find if somebody already built it to use some of the really cool features. And I wrote some a long time ago, but to be honest, lately, I noticed that I don’t use it much, except to open applications and a few workflows. And the Spotlight improved significantly with the last few versions of MacOS. So I have decided to achieve almost anything I need with the Spotlight (Siri and Automator) instead of Alfred.
