I had in mind a medical assistant who usually works in the x-ray room
Wednesday at 5 (where she can't take her phone with her), but suspects
that one of her colleagues is secretly searching her desk (where she
left the phone) while she is in there. The email would be sent to her
close friend who can recognize and catch that person red-handed. She
would not need that photo sent to her friend when she has a day off
and is at home. :-)

But of course this was just one of many possible use-cases. Maybe this
particular example was kind of stupid :-), but I'm sure there are lots
of useful cases of repeated actions that could be automated under
certain conditions:
* check the weather report through an online service in the morning
and send this to the screen reader so that my alarm clock could tell
me what I should wear.
* start the music player in 1/2 hour and play my phone ring-tone so
that I can tell my talkative neighbor that my husband will return soon
and I have to prepare dinner.
* leave the phone at home and let it call your friend who works at the
police at 23:12, playing back a long story of some personal issue you
had lately to give you the perfect alibi while you break into a
bank...
* ...

and so on :-)
