Dialog
Steve Jobs
Today, we're introducing something truly revolutionary. It's not just a feature—it's an intelligent assistant that understands you.
Lead Developer
Siri uses natural language processing to interpret your requests—whether it's setting a reminder, finding a restaurant, or even telling you a joke.
Steve Jobs
Let me show you what I mean. Siri, what's the weather like today?
Siri (voice)
Here's the weather for today in Cupertino: sunny with a high of 72 degrees.
Steve Jobs
Now, ask it something more personal. Siri, am I going to be late for my next meeting?
Siri (voice)
Your next meeting starts in 15 minutes. Traffic is light—you'll arrive with time to spare.
Lead Developer
And that's just the beginning. Siri learns from you, adapting to your voice and preferences over time.
