    Siri just got a major AI upgrade — here are 5 things to try first (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    It feels strange to finally say it, but with iOS 27, Siri has become more useful than ever. When Apple debuted its voice assistant in the iPhone 4S all those years ago, we had no idea it would become a punchline for so long, paling in comparison to Amazon's Alexa and Google's Home Assistant before being blown away by LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Now, though, the Cupertino firm's AI tech has finally caught up (with a little help from Google's Gemini). Apple Intelligence may have felt li

    Windows 11 is broken — and Microsoft is fixing the wrong things (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    It’s a little sad being a fan of tech these days.

As we covered last year, Notion’s AI-adjacent Notion Mail tried to do some cool things.
