I wouldn't be sure about that.

Siri's success would greatly depend on app developers adopting intents. The major players are going to be hesitant to give Apple that much access to data - the EU may help push them that way, but even still, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, and others want their AIs to be the one people use.

Siri is also limited to Apple products, and while lots of people have iPhones, many of them still have a PC, where Siri doesn't work.

Companies are also very concerned about employees accidentally or purposefully exfiltrating data via AI usage. Microsoft is working hard to build in guardrails there and Intune allows companies to block Siri intents, so Apple would have to do a lot to reassure corporate customers how they'll prevent Siri from sending data to a search engine or such.

But you might be right. I think it's way too early to tell, and that's why so much money is being poured into this. All the major players feel that they can't afford to wait on this.

A lot of developers have already adopted intents to support Shortcuts and existing Siri. There will be tremendous business pressure to be able to fit into a request like "Get me a car to my next appointment"
