Is there hope for a Siri app on Windows?

[bigboy29]

Now that Siri has an app where you can search through and continue conversations / research between devices, I am thinking:

Apple should consider creating a Siri app for the PC too.

I expect that Siri conversations will sync between iPhone and macOS (did not install that beta yet) - but it is quite handy to have an option to fire up the same AI app on Windows also (many folks uses both Mac and Windows). But if there will be no Siri app, users might instead opt to use something that does provide such cross OS compatibility instead of using Siri as a handy option?

Curious if I'm the only one wishing for such a thing?

Very unlikely for several reasons, IMO: the technical complexity, direct competition with MS Copilot and less incentive for people to swap their Windows device for a Mac.

Yeah it will be interesting to see how this works out.

IMO, end user AI apps are a commodity now; just as you mentioned, Copilot and Open AI (and probably others) already run cross OS. It would be really foolish for Apple to expect that someone would switch to a Mac just to use new Siri AI app but more delusional things happened...

Unless we are talking a specialized AI integration (AI assisted coding etc.) pretty much any AI can answer and discuss simple questions and subjects. Lack of Windows support for Siri will mean that folks who work across different ecosystems will not rely on Siri as their first choice.

I find it hard to think when people on Windows machines would want to rely on any Apple software as their first choice, as it is meant primarily for Apple hardware. Safari for Windows is gone and iTunes is barely used nowadays. What other cross-platform Apple software titles were there? 🤔

You can use Apple Music and also Apple TV on both Windows and Android.

Both of them are paid Apple services, that is why Apple put some effort. Siri AI is a freeware and there is no way Windows would give Apple deep-level access to the system to sabotage their own Copilot.

One thing I thought odd is that there's a Gemini app for mac but not windows. I'd have thought it would be the other way around

Why? Co-Pilot is much better than siri anyways.

You might be, ...i dont see it as a big deal and Siri still sux compared to others. Gemini, co Pilot......much better. Venture out man. There are other things than Apple lol.
