New Siri improves but trails personal agents like Muse and Dots
After a weekend with the new Siri, the author calls it a leap forward but says personal agents make its gaps obvious, and asks whether Apple's ecosystem or a great agent is harder to copy.
I spent the weekend pushing the new Siri and am happy to report it's leap forward. But once you've used personal agents, you ask Siri to do things it can't. That begs the question; Which is harder to copy: Apple's ecosystem or a great personal agent? I used to think the ecosystem. Now I'm not so sure. $AAPL reports next Monday. The most important topic is the shifting AI goal posts. In June the conversations was around was when will the new Siri come out. Now it's what's their answer to Muse, Grok Bot and Dots.
