Apple gives a makeover to Siri

At Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2024 kicked off yesterday, the iPhone maker has introduced a highly anticipated new version of Apple's voice assistant, Siri.

Apple partnered with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT with Siri. This allows Siri to access a massive knowledge base and become more informative in its responses .

Siri can now understand context better and remember past conversations. This makes interactions more natural and reduces repetitive prompts. You can even switch between voice and text commands.

Siri integrates more seamlessly with your Apple devices and apps. It can perform actions like adding addresses from texts or editing photos based on your instructions.

Additionally, Siri's integration with Apple's ecosystem has been deepened, allowing for more seamless interactions across devices such as iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple Watches. New features may include better handling of tasks like setting reminders, sending messages, and controlling smart home devices, as well as personalized suggestions based on user habits and preferences.

The updated Siri is enhanced with advanced generative AI capabilities through a new system called "Apple Intelligence." Apple has given the new AI powers to Siri to improve its functionality, making it more natural, context-aware, and deeply integrated within Apple's ecosystem.
