Siri first launched as an exclusive feature of the iPhone 4S. Before we do that however, let’s introduce our three lovely contestants. So for this three-way comparison the goal will be to showcase the weaknesses and strengths of each option so that you can make an informed choice about who to go with. For every person reading this, one of these assistants is the best match to your specific circumstances. It’s probably impossible to objectively say which assistant is the “best”, but comparing them along specific common tasks is a useful exercise. In case it isn’t apparent from the name.Īll three assistants perform similar jobs and also have their own unique value propositions to offer. The three main players are Siri from Apple, Cortana from Microsoft and Google Assistant, from, well, Google. Which is why it’s possible to ship every smartphone, laptop and tablet with a built-in Digital Assistant.
