Siri and personal context
Apple's AI-powered Siri assistant is a major part of the HomeView experience. It can use personal context from messages, calendar, and emails to answer questions and provide information. For example, users can ask it to find lost keys, play a song someone texted, pull up a recipe with step-by-step instructions and built-in timers, or track their schedule without reaching for a phone.
