The virtual assistants of the different operating systems are giving a twist in recent months. Siri is lagging well behind great assistants like Google Now. However, much of Apple's research investments are believed to have gone to Artificial Intelligence to improve your virtual assistant.
The latest information comes from analyst Gene Munster who assures that Siri will turn around at WWDC. Apple will announce integration of the assistant in the Beat hardware, its integration with the HomePod will be substantially improved and above all, will increase responsiveness on all devices.
Big leap for Siri at WWDC 2018
In all WWDC the same rumor comes out: Siri will improve. However, in recent years we have seen how small improvements were introduced subtly without showing us any important progress as other competitors do with their assistants. In recent months we have seen how the Google Assistant or Alexa are capable to respond or interact in many situations in which Siri simply tells us that he has not understood us.
Munster claims that in his tests, Siri responded to 85% of the answers made (of 800 questions), which would place the assistant on a par with that of Google. However, it is strange that Apple substantially improves Siri without the launch of a great version such as iOS 12. One of Apple's concerns when it comes to integrating information from the Internet into the answers given is Privacy. The analyst assures that those of Cupertino have found the key to be able to improve their answers, accessing sensitive information without damaging the privacy of the user. Currently, other companies such as Amazon or Google integrate information on the network artificial neural of your virtual systems.
It is also expected that Apple introduces Siri on Beats branded devices, Since the purchase 4 years ago this technology has not been implemented, something that analysts expect to happen during this WWDC. It is also expected, as we discussed at the beginning of the article, great improvements with the HomePod in addition to new sales dates in more different countries so that Siri will improve to expand the product.
