Siri has seen significant improvements thanks to advancements in Apple Intelligence and the integration of new large language models. These enhancements have made Siri more natural, contextually relevant, and capable of understanding and acting on a wider range of user inputs. Here are some key improvements:
-
Natural Language Processing: Siri can now understand and respond to more natural speech patterns, even if users stumble over their words (Bring your app to Siri).
-
Contextual Awareness: Siri can understand the context of what you're looking at on your device and take appropriate actions (Bring your app to Siri).
-
Semantic Search: Siri can perform more intelligent searches by understanding the meaning behind words. For example, searching for "pets" will include results for cats, dogs, and other animals (Bring your app to Siri).
-
App Integration: Developers can use frameworks like Sirikit and App Intents to integrate their apps more deeply with Siri, allowing for more complex and useful interactions (Bring your app to Siri).
-
Personal Context: Siri can access a semantic index of personal data like photos, messages, and calendar events to provide more personalized assistance (Platforms State of the Union).
-
Spotlight API: Siri can now search data from apps using a new Spotlight API, making it easier to find and act on app-specific content (Platforms State of the Union).
These improvements are part of a broader effort to make Siri more useful and intuitive, leveraging the latest in AI and machine learning technologies. If you haven't integrated your app with Siri yet, now is an exciting time to do so, as these advancements can significantly enhance user interactions with your app.
