@karb i use siri for basic use cases, mostly from my watch:
- quick math when baking (like if i want to make 1.6x a recipe to fit a bigger shape or mold)
- setting a timer
- starting a workout
- unlocking the homekit-controlled front door
- turning lights on/off in my home
anything else i've given up on trying, it's too stupid to do anything useful, and is mostly slower than whipping out my phone.
what doesn't work at all:
- playing a particular song on the Homepods, because it only understands 1 language. good luck playing a chinese, french or german song with a voice command when Siri is in English

@morgunkorn @karb you definitely need to learn to pronounce French written language the way an American who never heard any foreign language would pronounce those character combinations. If you manage to almost break your tongue, Siri will certainly play the desired song for you 😆
