> - a better Siri (but many companies in this space is demotivating)

Don't be discouraged, there is so much room for improvement, and we had a better system than Siri (regarding general ability to answer open domain questions) back in 2004 (SMS-based, with a view to eventually incorporate speech recognition).

I have not seen a player that does this really well, and the need is unquestionable (despite the VCs that told me in 2004 that the mobile Internet won't be a thing because "if it will be possible, it will be so expensive that no-one uses it").
