The thing I really want with Siri is better user documentation. Give me a dictionary of all the things I can say to it! I'm only going to guess the obvious ones and then sometimes try a few experiments, but lack of awareness of what it can do means I just do the handful of things I have seen it do successfully.

- chadlavi 5y agobut I WANT it to be a voice-based CLI! which, yeah, I recognize that most users don't want.
- eldaisfish 5y agothis is generally a complaint i have with most modern software. With the older versions of windows like 95 and 98 (that's the oldest experience i have), i read the manuals, tried things and slowly learned the intricacies of the OS. Modern smartphones, tablets and computers seem to come with increasingly sparse manuals, let alone documentation. Take iOS for example - i have no idea how to manage windows on my ipad, i don't know how to close them, window manipulation is not obvious and so on.
