what is in the new siri

The new Siri, as presented at WWDC 2024, includes several significant improvements powered by Apple Intelligence and new large language models. Here are the key enhancements:

1. Natural Sounding Voice: Siri can now sound more natural when speaking to you.
2. Contextual Relevance and Personalization: Siri is more contextually aware and personal. It can understand what you're looking at on your screen and take action based on that.
3. Richer Language Understanding: Siri can understand more natural speech, even if you stumble over your words.
4. Semantic Search: Siri can perform semantic searches, understanding the meaning behind your queries. For example, searching for "pets" will bring up results for cats, dogs, and other pets.
5. In-App Actions and Personal Contexts: Siri can now invoke items from your app's menus and access text displayed in any app using standard text systems. It can also search data from your app using a new Spotlight API.
6. App Intents Framework: This framework allows developers to define actions for Siri, shortcuts, and other system experiences. It supports flexible voice interactions and deeper integration with apps.
