Siri AI is big piece of the HomeView puzzle and Apple's assistant does a lot to help you throughout the day. Siri now draws from info from your iPhone, so you can ask the HomeView to "play that song Jeff texted me about" and the device knows just what you mean. During a quick demo of this, Siri was quick to respond, although I'm looking forward to seeing how rapid the actions are when I get a HomeView of my own to test.
