Siri is a spin-off from a project originally developed by the SRI International Artificial Intelligence Center. The software adapts to users' individual language usages, searches, and preferences, with continuing use. The assistant uses voice queries, gesture based control, focus-tracking and a natural-language user interface to answer questions, make recommendations, and perform actions by delegating requests to a set of Internet services. Siri ( / ˈ s ɪr i/ SIRR-ee) is a virtual assistant that is part of Apple Inc.'s iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, macOS, and tvOS operating systems. Chinese: Cantonese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese.
