The issue with things like that and evi is the integration, only siri is really easily accessible, everything else is restricted to apps.
...if you watched the demo on the link above.
Well, lets wait for iOS 7 then.
What Siri SHOULD be?
It should be Siri. And it should be developing.
Just because another service has an extra feature set, Siri should simply be Nina?
It is well understood and Apple has seen enough from SiriProxy that Siri needs something like that. We all know that there is a Siri-App-SDK in the works. What should be surprising is that Apple did not release it with iOS 6. Well, lets wait for iOS 7 then.
If Apple wants to consider Siri as THE gold standard and innovative - then yes - this is what Siri SHOULD be. Or should have been at launch. This whole hiding behind a "beta" title also should end. My opinion. And perhaps unpopular.
That being said - this is a demo video. It will be interesting when it's released to see how the actual performance is. But just the fact that Nina can take subsequent questions and retrieve data is the true evolution of AI. And makes Siri look quite immature. Again - my opinion.
I don't want to brag about my PhD from CMU in Machine Learning or having worked at Stanford on Autonomous cars (well, I should stop), but it gets a bit kiddish when people simply want software to be developed by their standards. If you are thinking so seriously, just go out there and develop a 100% perfect piece of future-proof software that's complete by the standards of 2020.
Sometimes, I feel like I'm talking to kids who have basically no idea about about Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning or Natural Language Processing.

It's hilarious how some of you young ones take software design, development, verification, manufacture-for-release for granted and think its a child play. Very basic concepts of software development for e.g. Agile Software Development are not even known and you people comment as if you know so much.
I may have been rude or highly critical but its disturbing to see kiddish people as yours claiming what a particular piece of software should have been.
