Your email didn't specify it. If I say that all Venezuelans are blind. It is saying that all Venezuelans on the world are blind. But if I say that all Venezuelans that live in my complex are blind, probably I am talking about myself. But it is not the case of your email. You didn't specify that you were talking about Google on the iPhone, you said that Google is not able to do Calendars and many other things. And it is again, wrong.

I am not saying other virtual assistants aren't doing a better job than SIRI in many situations, but Pablo apparently did not understand my meaning because I was referring to Google on the iPhone. I am not disputing the Google Assistant can't set an alarm, I'm sure it works just fine on an Android phone or with a Google Home speaker, but I can't easily do this or all the other iPhone functions with the Google app on the iPhone. In fact, I just opened the Google app, said "OK Google, set an alarm for 5:15 PM" and all it gave me were a bunch of web search results for various websites which you can use to set alarms. As I said, I use the Google app a lot myself if I am looking for popular culture info or maybe a phone number of a particular business whether local or elsewhere, but SIRI definitely does a pretty good job when it comes to controlling my iPhone, unit conversions, currency conversions, asking a fair bit of stuff about geography, Wikipedia entries, the distance from one place to another and all that. To simply make a statement "SIRI is dum and stupid" is just a bit subjective and that would be no different than saying "Windows is a bad operating system" or "Apple is a bad company" or any one of many other such statements one could make about a product, service or business.

The whole idea behind these virtual assistants is that they are more like real people, recognizing natural language, not making you wait for prompts and so on. If other virtual assistants are doing a better job of this then Sirir, then It's OK to point this out.
