Apple Siri
Worth it if…Worth it, with caveats.
Capable on basics, but more restrictive on compatible brands and weaker at smart home commands like the Ring doorbell and vacuum.

In my words
Straight from the video. Tap a timestamp to hear me say it.
“That's going to be so far off.”
“can Siri book you a haircut”
“so close”
“Siri doesn't work with Ring doorbells.”
“this tells you everything and it even gives you a button to be able to share that location with someone else”
“it is leagues ahead of the other two”
