This kind of pattern recognition offers opportunities for brands to be proactive with customer engagement. How will it work? In case I\u2019m just ready to place my order, Siri recognizes that I make a particular order, from a specific restaurant, so if in case I have to order my usual, I\u2019ll just wait at my seat and say, \u201cHey Siri, get me my usual\u201d. Did you catch the simplicity and ease of this command? The beauty lies in the promptness of the digital assistant!<\/p>\n<p>The most prevalent voice assistants for smartphones, available along with iOS and Android devices are Apple\u2019s voice-controlled digital assistant for iOS, Amazon&#8217;s Echo (Alexa) and Google Voice assistant for both Android and iOS. Google is said to have taken on Alexa, Siri, and Cortona with its own voice assistant: Google Assistant. All these are quite distinctly different products that ultimately diverge in directionally distinct arcs in both use case and utility. But if you own any or all of these devices, it can be established that there is a great deal of uniqueness and utility with all these.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"1\">Are These Voice Assistants Worth Comparing?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Nine years on from Siri, six years on from Alexa and four years on from Google Assistant; Apple, Amazon, and Google have spread their voice assistants far and wide respectively. Although Siri is dependent and specific on Apple devices (its own hardware) but Amazon\u2019s Echo Dot (Alexa) and Google Assistant are not only on Google&#8217;s own hardware, but are on through partnerships with other companies that see such voice assistants in a wide range of devices, from fridges to headphones, speakers to cars.<\/p>\n<p>Voice Assistants like Siri vs. Cortona vs. Alexa vs. Google Assistant are quite helpful while doing certain things like setting reminders, composing text messages, taking notes, creating events, setting alarms and making changes to system settings. As real knowledge is to know the extent to one&#8217;s ignorance, as soon as users get to know this digital voice or personal assistants more, they tailor their responses individually and that too in your personal\/preferred language.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"2\">What Can Siri do for You?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Siri can be incredibly useful for those who get used to it. Enabling users to do a wide array of tasks on their iOS devices like creating reminders. Just in case you wish Siri to be a little more useful, ask it to do anything from the list below like asking Siri to place a call, start a FaceTime chat, launch an app, send a message (\u201cHey Siri, send a Cliq message to Scott\u201d) or (\u201cVideo call Scott using Cliq\u201d) , set up a calendar event, find out whether your team won the game, pull up the photos you took the day before, get directions home,\u00a0 find a restaurant, play some music, set a reminder, etc.<\/p>\n<p>The results might surprise you, but what can be even more surprising is the candidness of the assistant to answer, or at least attempt to answer \u201chuman-like\u201d questions in a similar way.<\/p>\n<p>Siri makers brag that it is capable of doing more than one can imagine, even before we ask it! It can help you stay connected without lifting a finger. From making calls to text messages on your behalf to offering proactive suggestions like texting someone that you\u2019re running late for a meeting \u2013 allows you to stay updated and in touch effortlessly.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"3\">Commands That Siri Listens; there&#8217;s Even More Than It Can Do!<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Right from reminding you to make calls that matter, Siri eases everyday tasks, is a faster, easier way to do all kinds of useful things. Setting alarms, reminders and previewing calendar is easy without the need to pick up a device. Although it cannot order on user&#8217;s behalf at the moment Siri can as well suggest shortcuts based on your routine. Siri can predict too. Based on your routine, it can come up with intelligent suggestions that can ease your routine tasks out.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cHey Siri call baby on speaker\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cRead my last message\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cText Tony, I\u2019m on the way exclamation mark\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Don\u2019t know who\u2019s calling? Siri can help<\/li>\n<li>\u201cMessage Chris, I\u2019ll be there in 30 minutes on WhatsApp\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cFacetime Dale\u201d<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Hey Siri, wake me up at 5:30 AM tomorrow&#8221; (Siri replies, &#8220;Ok, alarm set for 5:30 AM tomorrow&#8221;)<\/li>\n<li>\u201cSplit a $15 bill three ways\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cHey Siri, set a timer for 30 minutes\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cRemind me to pick up the dry cleaning when I leave for work\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Siri can play songs based on your most played songs or preferred playlists. It\u2019s easier as Apple music and Siri work together beautifully. So, you can give it commands like \u2013 \u201cHey Siri, play me something I\u2019d like\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Ask it more about the song, \u201cHey Siri, what song is this?\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cPlay me some 90\u2019s hip hop\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cPlay the latest Evergreen Upbeat\u201d from Gaana.com<\/li>\n<li>If you want to try it more, Siri suggests the required playlists exactly when you want them.<\/li>\n<li>If you are not satiated, Siri has answers to all kinds of questions \u2013 How do you say \u201cThank You\u201d in Mandarin?<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;How many rupees are 45 euros?&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Siri watch face keeps you stay on top of stocks, scores, your schedule, and activity rings, etc.<\/li>\n<li>What\u2019s the derivative of Cosine(x)?<\/li>\n<li>It can accept some extravagantly humorous queries like<\/li>\n<li>\u201cShow my pics from last summer\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cFind my Airpods\u201d<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Open the presentation that I was working on Yesterday and likewise&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span id=\"4\">What Happens When Siri Makes Mistakes?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It might be infuriating at times when the digital assistants fail to catch the user command and come out with vague replies. But a user shouldn&#8217;t be too quick to dismiss it. These voice assistants like Google Now, Siri and Microsoft&#8217;s Cortona can be really useful and time-saving tools for getting things done and finding information. There is a need to invest some time and effort to better understand how smarter these assistants are.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"5\">Integrating Siri (Sirikit) into Next Third Party iOS App<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Siri in iOS now supports third-party apps which implies that it can now interact with apps like Skype, PayPal, Uber, and some others Siri compatible apps that have chosen to include support for Siri virtual assistant.\u00a0 In actual practice this allows users to give certain commands to Siri like \u201csend $10 to Mark using PayPal\u201d or \u201cGet me an Uber to airport\u201d. Enabling Siri in third-party apps for iPhone and iPads is easy.<\/p>\n<p>Siri integration requires iOS 10 or later versions along with installing third-party apps to be used. Some manual integration is also required for third-party apps.<\/p>\n<p>As an example of how Siri functions in a normal consulting company app with their managers through a voice messaging system: A user opens Siri and calls out: \u201cHey Siri, send a Facetime message telling my managers that I need help.\u201d Then the request is sent to the managers.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"6\">Selecting Domains<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A domain is to be selected based on app tasks. Sirikit programming guide suggests names of few domains like VoIP calling, messaging, Payments, photos, workouts, ride booking, CarPlay and restaurant reservations, etc. As an example, here messaging domain (a type of Apple Siri domain) is being used for Siri app integration. As Siri propagates the user&#8217;s actions, when a user requests an action from Siri, it sends the user&#8217;s intent along with certain necessary details and additional information to the handler for that intent.<\/p>\n<p>If your iOS application offers \u201cdomain service\u201d, like ride-booking (e.g.: Uber), fitness (e.g.: Gold Gym), messaging (e.g.: Facebook, Whatsapp, Skype), payments (e.g.: Paypal), it can integrate with Siri to let the user performs certain actions (better called as intents) in response to spoken commands given by users.<\/p>\n<p>Siri is intelligent enough to handle all the language processing and semantic analysis that is required to turn these spoken requests into instructions that the app can handle. \u00a0The iOS app defines the tasks it supports, validates the information it receives and provides information for Siri to present and take action.<\/p>\n<p>WatchOS and iOS apps can adopt the Sirikit framework to allow people to use Siri and Shortcuts to perform app-specific actions on Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad, HomePod and CarPlay. Here is a list of domains that Sirikit supports for iOS and watchOS apps.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8091\" src=\"https:\/\/www.konstantinfo.com\/konstant-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Sirikit-supports.png\" alt=\"sirikit supports\" width=\"778\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.konstantinfo.com\/konstant-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Sirikit-supports.png 778w, https:\/\/www.konstantinfo.com\/konstant-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Sirikit-supports-195x300.png 195w, https:\/\/www.konstantinfo.com\/konstant-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Sirikit-supports-768x1180.png 768w, https:\/\/www.konstantinfo.com\/konstant-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Sirikit-supports-667x1024.png 667w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 778px) 100vw, 778px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Source: https:\/\/developer.apple.com<\/p>\n<p>Sending a message, search a message and assigning attributes to a message are three kinds of intents supported by Siri\u2019s messaging domain.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"7\">How to Set-up the Base Environment?<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>A Cocoa Touch framework needs to be set up for the app as you can&#8217;t use the code directly from your project. This can be set up by selecting File -&gt; New -&gt; Target. After this, select \u201cCocoa Touch Framework\u201d as the template to be used for your target.<\/li>\n<li>Assign a name to your framework in the next window. E.g.: \u201cCore\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Check \u201cEmbed in application\u201d field.<\/li>\n<li>Add classes to the framework. (These classes essentially define the domain of user requests and send those requests to the backend team.)<\/li>\n<li>If the classes are already implemented, they must be moved to \u201cCore\u201d. Classes must be removed from the main target and added manually to the framework target, in order to implement this. \u201cCore\u201d framework can then be imported and classes can be used.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span id=\"8\">Implement the Intent Handler<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Implementing Intent Handler is the primary part of integrating Siri into your iOS app. This can be done by adding the \u201cIntents Extension\u201d target in the iOS app by selecting <strong>\u201cFile\u2013&gt;New\u2013&gt;Target\u201d<\/strong> and then selecting \u201cIntents Extension.\u201d Enter any name, e.g.: <strong>\u201cSiriIntentExtension\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some system information must be provided within \u201cInfo.plist\u201d file of the <strong>\u201cSiriIntentExtension\u201d<\/strong> to indicate the intents that the app must react to:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8090\" src=\"https:\/\/www.konstantinfo.com\/konstant-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/SiriIntentExtension.png\" alt=\"siriintentextension\" width=\"459\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.konstantinfo.com\/konstant-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/SiriIntentExtension.png 459w, https:\/\/www.konstantinfo.com\/konstant-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/SiriIntentExtension-300x148.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 459px) 100vw, 459px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Above code specifies the supported intents list (which contains only one intent in our case, <strong>\u201cINSendMessageIntent\u201d<\/strong>).

As the recipient, in this case, is a single entity (the server), all suggested recipients can be accepted so that Siri won\u2019t ask users to resolve the recipient themselves. This works as follows:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8087\" src=\"https:\/\/www.konstantinfo.com\/konstant-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/resolveRecipients.png\" alt=\"resolve recipients\" width=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.konstantinfo.com\/konstant-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/resolveRecipients.png 620w, https:\/\/www.konstantinfo.com\/konstant-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/resolveRecipients-300x84.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The next function is <strong>\u201cresolveContent(forSendMessage:with:).\u201d<\/strong> This function allows us to validate the input text.

If the validation fails, we return an error and an appropriate status code.<\/p>\n<p>Passing a <strong>\u201cfailureRequiringAppLaunch,\u201d<\/strong> command to Siri will indicate user to open an app. As soon as the user opens the app, the <strong>\u201cuserActivity\u201d<\/strong> can be detected and suggest that the user can again try after authorization.<\/p>\n<p>Third most important function suggests Siri work as follows:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8089\" src=\"https:\/\/www.konstantinfo.com\/konstant-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Siri-work.png\" alt=\"siri work\" width=\"633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.konstantinfo.com\/konstant-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Siri-work.png 633w, https:\/\/www.konstantinfo.com\/konstant-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Siri-work-300x141.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 633px) 100vw, 633px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This finally resolves the domain of a user request and sends a wrapped message to the server. \u201cintent.content\u201d contains a text message that is recorded by the user. If this attempt fails, a \u201c.failure\u201d response code is sent to Siri so that it can convey it to the user. There is a need to add \u201cNSSiriUsageDescription\u201d key to your app\u2019s \u201cInfo.plist.\u201d The complete implementation of \u201cMessageIntentHandler\u201d\u00a0can be found on GitHub.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"9\">In The End<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In order to develop this kind of extension, these points must be noted:<\/p>\n<p>The domain must be added for both the app and the SiriIntentExtension<\/p>\n<p>According to Apple\u2019s docs, custom dictionary of app-specific and user-specific words must be implemented that can help Siri not be misunderstood.<\/p>\n<p>Usage permission of Siri has to be managed by calling <strong><em>\u201cINPreferences.requestSiriAuthorization\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is important to specify a localization of the name, like a user, must set their language preferences so that Siri understands when the user gives commands in that particular language.
