Apple's WWDC 2024 introduced several enhancements to Siri, powered by Apple Intelligence. Here are some key updates:
-
Natural Language and Contextual Understanding: Siri now sounds more natural and is more contextually relevant, thanks to new large language models. It can understand and act on what you're looking at on your device, making interactions more personal and intuitive.
-
Integration with Apps: Developers can integrate their apps with Siri using frameworks like SiriKit and App Intents. This allows Siri to perform actions within apps, such as searching for photos or accessing app-specific data.
-
Semantic Search: Siri can perform semantic searches, understanding broader concepts rather than just keywords. For example, searching for "pets" will include related terms like "cats" and "dogs."
-
Spotlight API: A new Spotlight API allows Siri to index app entities, enabling deeper integration and more natural access to app data.
-
Assistant Schema for Search: Developers can use a new assistant schema to route users directly to search results within their app, enhancing the user experience.
