Not sure what you're needing that you're note getting -- there is certainly a lot that it doesn't do -- but Siri works like a champ for me these days for maybe 70% of the things that I would do with my phone or ever computer without it. I initiate all calls with it, do tons of texting with it, cue up all my music in the car with it, constantly add things to reminders lists ('hey siri... add soy sauce to the grocery list' results in soy sauce on my grocery list... in the condiments sublist)

I hadn't noticed the improvements until I started using my apple watch a lot... I had given up on it a few years back, I guess.
