I like that they finally brought typing interaction to Siri. You won't always need to use voice.

This does look like a real-world implementation of the concept promoted by Rabbit. Apple already had the App Intents API mechanism in place to give them the hooks into the apps. They have also publish articles about their Ferret UI LLM that can look at an app's UI and figure out how to interact with it, if there are no available intents. This is pretty exciting.



Text as a Siri interface has been available for a while now. Long-press the sleep/wake button to raise the prompt.


It has, but it’s presently an accessibility affordance you have to enable first. It’s found under device Settings > Accessibility > Siri > “Type to Siri” On/Off


Oh, go figure. Let that be a lesson: if you don't check out the accessibility options, you're missing at least half the cool stuff your phone can do to actually make your life easier.
