Siri with AI: Apple's Voice Assistant Finally Works
Apple has updated Siri, and for the first time in 15 years the assistant is no longer a punchline. The new Siri AI runs on the Apple Intelligence platform and finally handles real tasks: it understands context, works with apps and does not get lost on multistep requests. There is no breakthrough here, but "good enough" is huge progress for billions of iPhone users.

Apple has released an updated version of its Siri voice assistant with AI, and it is the first real step forward for the assistant in a decade and a half.
When was Siri launched?
Siri debuted on the iPhone 4S in 2011.
Why did Siri work poorly before?
The assistant regularly let users down: it could not set a timer correctly, mixed up names from contacts, gave off-topic answers and sent people to the browser where it should have carried out the action.
