Siri is great at setting reminders (I see it's my friends birthday tomorrow or next week and want to remember to call them, I immediately say "Hey Siri, remind me on Tuesday at 1pm to text ____ happy birthday'), good when I start a load of laundry in my apartment building's communal basement laundry room, "Hey Siri, set a timer for 46 minutes", good at "Hey Siri, turn the lights off everywhere" to get the lights off using Homekit (now called Home?) when I'm in bed. Siri is great at "Hey Siri next song" when I'm listening to my Spotify discover weekly and don't like what it's playing and that is way easier than pulling my phone out and tapping a button.

I would argue Humans are bad at Siri, more than Siri is bad at ____.



You can set it so you don’t need the “hey” anymore. Tough habit to break though…


Actually seems like by default it already accepts just Siri from me.
