Siri's Relevance Problem Requires More Than Raw Intelligence

Apple's latest Siri overhaul shows consumer AI assistants fail not from lack of intelligence but from lack of actionable context about individual users. The gap isn't one of raw capability. Google Assistant and Alexa succeed because they know what users actually need to do, when, and why.

Whoever builds the most intuitive interface between user intent, relevant data, and system capability wins consumer mindshare. The biggest model doesn't.
