Siri Gets Superpowers with New App Integrations
10 Sep
Summary
- Siri can now 'see' what users see to answer questions.
- Stuff app turns voice commands into organized tasks.
- New Siri feature integrates with third-party apps like Stuff.
During its annual September event on Wednesday, Apple unveiled significant upgrades to its Siri AI. A key new feature allows Siri to "see" what users see, combining this visual input with broad world knowledge to answer questions and take action within compatible apps. This enhanced functionality extends to third-party applications.
One highlighted integration is with the app Stuff, which helps users organize notes, tasks, and plans. With the new Siri capabilities, Stuff can create tasks from voice commands, recognizing them and presenting them as an editable list. The app also features handwriting recognition, converting scanned notes into tasks with automatic date assignments based on keywords like "today" or "next week."
Stuff supports real-time collaboration for up to 25 people, making it useful for group planning. While the app is free, premium features like expanded collaboration and specialized modes are available for a subscription fee. Other third-party apps mentioned for Siri AI compatibility include Audible, WhatsApp, and Outlook. The event also saw the unveiling of new Apple Watch and AirPods models, all designed to work with the enhanced Siri.
