My reaction to Siri is either amazement at how well it worked or disgust in its failure on seemingly simple queries.


Siri has lots of known problems. My biggest gripes are the lack of context and lack of a "discussion" state.

But Siri is a general domain problem, which is really really hard. Siri set the expectation you can ask it anything, and it works terribly and for most questions just gives up and runs a web search.

If you are an e-commerce company though, that's a narrow enough domain, because you know that for most people, they're looking for products to buy or compare. It's not an unbounded Q&A service.
