Siri is often powerless. It&#x27;s impossible to make Siri open a certain video on Youtube. It doesn&#x27;t even know about the existence of YT, and if you don&#x27;t have the music locally on your device, it says it didn&#x27;t find it.<p>That&#x27;s why I am excited for more services integrated into personal assistants. I think both Apple and Google have been stagnating. How many years have passed and Siri only just knows how to send a SMS, make a phone call, set an alarm and look up trivia. And all that with very simple phrases, that don&#x27;t combine multiple requests into one or ask a more nuanced search question and filtering criteria.<p>Even a regular person knows it should be able to perform such tasks (as opening an app with a specific request), they are not AI, just basic integration.<p>Another example: go to Google Now and say &quot;Search Beatles on Youtube&quot;. Ok, it searches for Beatles in the YT app, but doesn&#x27;t start playing. Then I say &quot;Play the first result&quot;. It goes to web search and displays pages containing &quot;play the first result&quot; text in them. Stupid! I was already in the YT app, asking it to &quot;play&quot;.<p>So what is this? Laziness on the part of Google and Apple, that&#x27;s what it is, not a difficult AI problem that can&#x27;t be solved. And the API is closed so I can&#x27;t add any new behavior in it. I hope Viv kicks their butts and launches them into action.
