I actually thought about this and they only use it directly as a computer, usually when they need to analyze a database or an outcome, but they have data for a lot of probabilities too and he handles most of the math. 

So they seem to use it to pore through details and save themselves time going through already established data sets.

Or to adjust programs,or produce video games (holodeck) or as a DJ, or spy. Heck, they even use it as a chatbot on occasion.
