> It would be interesting to know how many people actually use, or even want Siri, or any type of voice assistant for that matter.

Do you drive to work?

I don't either, but I suspect anyone that does, and that's hundreds of millions of people in the US alone, would get a lot of value out of a version of Siri that can actually act as a "personal assistant", capable of doing things like booking a doctor's appointment that fits into their calendar, summarizing email, canceling subscriptions etc.

I drive, and right now I honestly can't trust Siri to even add a to-do item properly. Sometimes it creates a calendar entry, sometimes it randomly decides to do a web search instead. They haven't really been doing anything to fix this (until now, that is).
