It's one of my great fascinations that assistants worked better in 2010 in my opinion than they do now. I remember setting timers, adding reminders and asking the weather back then and it was amazing, it could interpret very flexibly worded versions of my requests almost perfectly every time ("Add a reminder a week from now" etc). But steadily over the years this functionality seems to have degraded. It's got more and more hit and miss and finally I've just stopped using it. I don't really understand why ... I assume it's happened as they've tried to make the systems more flexible and accommodate wider inputs (different accents etc), it's made them worse at the more constrained use cases.
