Thank you for trying it out! Let me try to answer your queries. No pun intended of course.

- Siri doesn't maintain conversational context. If you wanted to find a sushi place in SOMA, and the recommendation was too expensive, you could just say "show me something cheaper" to Myra. For Siri, you'd have to repeat saying "cheap sushi places in the mission" which (doesnt work today and) would show you a whole different set of results. You can also never ask Siri things like "Show me reviews for Foreign Cinema" and "get me a reservation there".

- Siri's not good at answering questions. If you ask it for happy hour places in the mission for instance, or the best outdoor date spot in SF - the results are simply not useful. Myra will not only recommend a place, but also things like when the happy hour time is, and why the japanese gardens in Golden Gate Park are a good outdoor date spot. More importantly, it will factor in things like open times and available reservations when showing you this data.

- Also, when you're having a group conversation with other people, when it's too noisy around you, or you have something private to say - text is always better.

Re: Tech stack - for every query, you are actually seeing live results (for instance, reservation data can't be cached). Doing the NL parts quickly was the most challenging piece so far. It's written in Python.

Hope this helps.
