The Siri app is one that has redefined how we look at AIs. Siri’s voice alone has become synonymous with virtual assistants everywhere. Apple’s revolutionary program has won over the hearts all over the world.
For those of you who have yet to experience the wonders of the artificial intelligence we know as Siri, there are a few things you need to know to get you started with the experience of your lifetime.
Siri is a math whiz
It shouldn’t be surprising that Siri is great in everything math. She is a pretty nifty calculator for a number of reasons. Of course, she can do basic calculations pretty well and is more than capable of doing some addition and subtraction here and there.
She can even do conversions on the spot, which can be a lifesaver when you are traveling or trying to figure out a recipe. Even if you need some probability done, she can flip coins or even roll dice at your command!
Siri knows pop culture
Siri is so much more than some program on your phone. She is pretty well versed when it comes to everything going on in the world of entertainment. Not sure what movie you want to see? Ask her what’s playing she she’ll even give you critic ratings! No sure what song is playing on the radio? She’s got you covered their too!
She’s some fancy calendar
It is pretty well known that Siri can serve as a calendar and remind you of different appointments. You can create events and gentle reminders all with a simple voice command. Now, it goes without saying that this can be very helpful for you when you are planning a party or trying to remember an office meeting. You can also do simple (but very helpful) things such as remind you to answer a text later or call back a friend.
Siri Eyes Free
With Siri, you can make your cellphone searches a lot safer and easier. Really upgrade your multitasking game with this one. When you set your Apple device up to “Hey Siri,” you are able to access all of Siri’s features without even touching your phone. This can be very useful when you are on the go or trying to work with your hands in a rush. You can use this to put people on speaker phone, dictate text messages, or even use location services.
In case of emergencies
There is also something very useful Siri does in cases where an apple product is lost. Even though a phone with a lock can’t access the address book and such aside from emergency services, there is one other option. If you ask Siri “who owns this iPhone (other apple device), it will pull up the name and contact info of the owner to use. You can use facetime, imessage, facetime, and phone numbers. This way, the person who finds the lost device will be able to dial a house number or even send a message that can be received on other Apple devices.
Add a smile to your face
Siri is known for much more than her technological features. Siri is a hilarious part of the modern world that people love for her humor and personality. On days when you are really bored (or really down), she can really add a smile to your face when you give her the right command.
Siri can tell jokes, makes snarky remarks, and can even beatbox! Of course, some of her comments may come across as a little sarcastic but it is always more funny than mean spirited. Even if you aren’t in the mood to listen to her, you can always make her pull up pictures of your favorite animal or even play your favorite song.
There is a reason Siri has become the beloved face of AIs. With this knowledge, you are ready to meet her!
