Amazon Alexa is coming to Businesses to become smarter
Apple has drastically improved Siri over the years, adding new features and upgrading its voice to sound more human-like, but its ongoing shortcomings really revealed themselves in the recent launch of the HomePod, the company's first product that's nearly entirely controlled by the voice assistant. The employees speaking out within todays report claim Williamson made a number of decisions that the rest of the Siri team disagreed with, including a plan to only improve Siri's capabilities once a year, rather than within regular iOS software updates. Although Apple has toyed with the idea since 2012, SiriKit for developers didn't arrive until 2016, and the report says several senior engineers behind the effort have since "left Apple or moved off the project".
Employees say Siri was rushed to market and was built on a technically flawed foundation that Apple is still trying to fix.
So what the heck happened? Jobs' death marked the beginning of Siri's downfall.

Fingers are also being pointed at former Apple exec Richard Williamson who apparently wanted to update Siri once a year in step with iOS releases instead of consistently upgrading it like Amazon and Google now do. "It was slow, when it worked at all", Williamson said. "Those problems lie entirely with the original Siri team". However, subsequent attempts to add new features - including analytics and third-party app support - have been stifled by Siri's code, which was described at various points as "brittle", "inflexible", and "patched up but never completely replaced".
The Vitality Alexa Skill enables people to access the latest health and wellbeing content, making it even easier to maintain a fit and healthy lifestyle through small changes which can be implemented into everyday lives. Siri, in contrast, might have a harder time catching up with its AI rivals. Of course, when you're serving hundreds of millions of users across all of Apple's devices, that's a tall task.
