I haven't used Siri in ages; what kind of context does it keep? I know that Google Voice Search will do coreference across consecutive queries (i.e. resolving "it" and "him" accurately).

Just tried this: Me: "Siri, find me a target." <finds several targets> Me: "Directions." Siri: "Which target?" Me: "Third one." <gives directions to third one in list> Also: Me: "Siri, find me restaurants." <lists restaurants> Me: "Review for Blue Duck Tavern" <lists review> Me: "Other restaurants" <lists restaurants> Me: "Reservation for Founding Farmers." Google Now will do some coreferences, but Siri is almost modal. You can talk to it like an assistant instead of trying to formulate everything as a search query. I had a Nexus 5 almost a year before getting my 6+, and I was always jealous of how much more practically useful Siri was on my wife's iPhone 5.

  Just tried this on my Moto X: Me: "Find me a target" <nearest target shows up> Me: "Directions" <changes to "directions to target"> <shows a list of targets to select> Me: "first one" <chooses Portland Galleria Target>
