> If you are a consumer and you have a Mac or an iPhone, what do you need from AI that Apple's new offering won't provide? I've been using Kagi Assistant for my AI needs, and have to say, Siri will probably replace it in the fall. The question will be, will I still want to keep Kagi for search, or will this new Siri get me where I need to be on all fronts? I need to start paying more attention to how often I actually use the search results vs just the AI summary. There are things I didn't see Apple show and I wonder how Siri will handle it. One example would be basic coding. They mentioned LLMs in Xcode and Siri with the Shortcuts app and Safari Extensions, but I just had Kagi write up a webpage as a means to display a bunch of data it gave me. Gemini could also do this, so maybe it's not a problem for Siri, but it remains to be seen. There is also a question of what the experience will be like. ChatGPT, for example, handles writing up this code is a much nicer way than Kagi Assistant. Kagi feels more like the results I would have had from ChatGPT a couple years ago where it just dumps out the code in a block and any change is an entirely new code dump, meanwhile ChatGPT goes into a coding interface with a live editor. Going to Xcode feels like overkill, Siri will probably be not enough... so that's a gap in the market Apple may not serve. I assume there will be several things like this. The prosumer level of AI usage, if you will. | ||||||||||||||

Very very few consumers will be looking to use an AI to write code for them. | ||||||||||||||
