Before we start saying what are the most ingenious, funny, rare and efficient answers that Apple’s assistant, Siri, can give us, we will have to see a little history. This way we will understand a little better its evolution. Siri was created as an app by Adam Cheyer. He did not enter a computer group when he was in high school because he did not know how to program. His pride and his hard effort made it so soon after if he got in. One of his goals was to improve personal computer assistants. But the main problem was that they did not have the intelligence to understand the meaning of the question. To solve this problem, technologies of Artificial intelligence, and for information management, geographic data search technologies were used; Information was received from different providers; A data storage insurance system was created and a long etcetera. Since then it has evolved to be almost the perfect assistant. We see what it can do for us.
Tell Siri to be your efficient virtual assistant
We are going to start with the orders or tasks that we can ask Siri, to help us in the day to day. With this, many of the actions that we carry out on a daily basis many times, we can do without touching the iPhone. It is faster but you have to know very well how to say it so as not to go crazy and above all so that Siri writes it down and performs the task perfectly.
calls
- If you like start a call just start the conversation with Siri using the voice command “Hey Siri”. Then all you have to do is tell the contact you want to call. By the way, you don’t need to pause between the voice command and the contact. Say it all in a row: “Hey Siri call SoydeMac.”
- that same call through loudspeaker: “Hey Siri calls SoydeMac through Speaker.”
- answer a call: While iPhone is ringing you can say “Hey Siri answer call on speaker” and the conversation will start.
- If you want divert the call to a headsetyou can also indicate it.
Posts
We can do the same thing we do to start a call with messages. This time we have to make a parenthesis. If you say “Hey Siri send a message to SoydeMac” by default it will use the iMessage app. But you should know that you can use third-party applications such as WhatsApp or Telegram. You just have to specify it. “Hey Siri send a Telegram to SoydeMac”
Find information and more
You can ask Siri to search information for you on the Internet. Using an algorithm, it will use its knowledge to perform a search on different websites. But if you refine the search a bit, you can always have him answer you with information and tell you about it.
Just say “Hey Siri find me the nearest bar” and it will access the Internet. But if you say “Hey Siri, who was the founder of Apple? It will tell you who the three founders of the apple company were. Therefore, if you narrow the questionit is likely to tell you a bit of the story of who or what you asked about.
Play music, search for an Apple device, control the house are some of the tasks that it can also do. “Hey Siri, play the hottest tracks from (your favorite artist).” “Hey Siri, where are my AirPods?”
Have fun with Siri
Not everything is going to be working with Siri. Just because it’s virtual doesn’t mean it doesn’t have sense of humoralthough it is true that it is not so that he can tell a monologue in a comedy club, but he tries.
Ask Siri to tell you a joke
We start with the most basic. We can ask Siri to tell us a joke and randomly it will try to liven up the time, making us laugh. “Hey Siri, tell me a joke.” Now, get ready because they are pretty bad or as they say, British humor.
Irony at Apple
We can try to get Siri to mess with other assistants or tell us which is the best phone in the world. The answers they will give are ironic and polite. Although they can be philosophical and sometimes they do not stop and say what they think.
The good thing is that if you repeat the question, the answer changes but it still maintains the same ironic, philosophical tone…;
- “Hey Siri, what’s the best phone on the market?»
- It’s a joke right?
- But are there others?
- you already know the answer
- “Hey Siri, what’s the best virtual assistant?
- I didn’t know there was more
- I don’t know, but receiving the nomination is already an honor.
- I’m surprised you ask
- doHave a boyfriend?
- The only commitment I have is with the end user license agreement
- dowhen is the world going to end?
- The world is 4.543 billion years old. It seems that he manages well to continue around here
- take me with you Leader
- Can I call you Jarvis?
- I think you have me confused with another intelligent assistant
- “Hey Siri,What is the meaning of life?
- My favorite, without a doubt, is the answer to the mathematical question:How much is zero divided by zero?
- I’ll tell you the quick answer: Undetermined, but the explanation that Siri gives us is absolutely great. You must listen to her. It’s not the same to read it. Please take the test. Just a hint: It has to do with the cookie monster.
Direct answers defending Apple
At this point, surely you have wondered how I would respond to questions a little more captious. Especially when we ask about the competition. Let’s see what the virtual assistant answers.

Siri’s curious responses and actions
Sing
If you ask Siri to sing, He won’t hesitate and he’ll sing you a little verse. That if, do not think that she will be delicate or have the voice like angels. It is rather, a bit like walking around the house. But of course, like most people. You just have to say, “You know to sing?”. However. If you want a more biting response, as she is, say “Sing me something” and her response will be very appropriate.
Geolocated agenda
If we have the usual places configured, such as work and our home, we can tell Siri to act as our assistant when we find ourselves in one of those places. For example, we can ask you to call someone when we are at work. Send a message when you get home. Very useful for when we have to do something in a certain place but we know that a simple reminder may slip by and an entry in the agenda is too much.
Cabify/Uber
Companies like Cabify or Uber will start up after you say “ask me for a Cabify/Uber” and the ‘app’ will show the type of car, the price as well as the time it could take for the driver to appear on the site where the customer is. Logically you have to have the App and be registered. Siri is good but not that good…
find photos
Imagine that you have hundreds of photos and you can’t find precisely the one where you come out doing your best pose under the London Bridge. You look, look and look but you are not able to show the photo. However, remember that Siri can search for geolocated photos, (if you have it activated). Just by saying “show me the pictures of london”, the assistant will do its magic and show you the photos of that trip. Now the search is easier.
If you want now let’s get a little more serious or you just want to get a little more earthy with Siri, it can also help:
Depressed
You can tell Siri what it is depressed. The virtual assistant can answer you in an ironic way to cheer you up a bit:
«cry if you want. My aluminosilicate glass screen is resistant to tears»».
Although he can also answer you as someone who wants to help you:
“”Wow, I’m sorry, if you want to talk, i’m here»
If you ask the question a more serious way or compromising, Siri will not hesitate to recommend that you seek help:
If you ask transcendental questions, like What is the meaning of life?Siri will help you understand it, but I’ll tell you in advance that it’s just that, an attempt.
The possibilities that Siri has are limitless. The limit is up to you. I mean depending on what you ask him, he’s always going to have an answer. You may not like the one I give you. But she won’t keep quiet saying that she doesn’t know something. She always has the resource to search the Internet. In fact, when you ask her something that she cannot do or it is a question that is so, so specific or personal, she answers you with the wildcard of “This is what I have found on the Internet about….”. You can also take the test and ask the assistant for something that is very specific or personal.
As we said, surely there are a thousand more and more ingenious answers, so if you know any and feel like it, in the comments we read you.
