| I use Siri frequently throughout a typical day. From most common to least common: - Send a text while driving, walking with my kids, etc - Create a reminder with a specific time or place ("Hey Siri, when I get home remind me to take out the trash") - Resume an Overcast playlist ("Hey Siri, resume Overcast tech playlist") - Turn on/off lights (I have a couple lamps on HomeKit outlets) - Get directions - Set a timer - Place a call while otherwise using my hands (I have an Apple Watch, which makes this pretty handy) - Play music / playlist in Apple Music - Check a sports score Getting an Apple Watch significantly increased my usage of Siri. It's not perfect, and as I wander around the house doing things (without my phone) the connection sometimes gets tenuous. But a lot of times it is nice to not pull out my phone, and keep using my hands for whatever I was already doing. I am actually pretty pleased with Siri's functionality to do things for me. I can't speak to the "General Information query" use case, as it has never been compelling for me--however most people say that Siri lags behind other assistants in this area. |
