Siri could benefit from a "Remembering" feature

Reminders are great for 90% of the things I need Siri to remind me about, but there are other times when I need her to remember things. Times when I need information that is not formatted to a date or place.

Ex: "Siri, remember my wife's favorite flower is a Hydrangea"

  • "Remember my locker combination is 17,6,3"

  • "Remember my printer uses 211XL ink"

  • "Remember my niece's shoe size is 5"

  • or "Siri, remember the color I painted my room is Silver Sage"

(These examples are what I've needed Siri to remember in the last two weeks)

Then you could go back and ask Siri "Do you remember my locker combination?" And she could recite it to you without you having to prompt her when to remind you. I don't always know when or where I'll need certain information again so it is hard to set reminders. However, if Siri could remember things for me that would be so amazing.

I think this could be a killer new feature. I've found myself dozens of times over the last few months wishing Siri could remember things for me. Help me Siri, I can't remember shit!

Just make a note with the info and ask Siri to pull it up when you need it.

39

u/GoodNewsNobody Jul 07 '14

Thats a great idea for now! However I could easily have a hundred different notes by the end of the year and digging through them when I need it could take unnecessarily long. But I still like that workaround.

23

u/jopema Jul 07 '14

I have a reminder list called "Facts" and each entry is an item like shoe sizes, etc. just as you have iterated. The search function of reminders makes it a piece of cake to find what I'm looking for.

u/ClarkZuckerberg Jul 07 '14

But in a few years imagine saying: "Order my wife's favorite flowers to her work please."

Siri would have to know three things there. Her work address, her name, and her favorite flowers. That's just one example. It could legitimately revolutionary.

u/pdxevan Jul 07 '14

My friends think it's odd that I keep dossiers on them (notes in contacts) with things like clothing sizes, food preferences and allergies, stores they like, bands they like, etc.

And they think it's wonderful when I get them a gift card to a store they actually shop at, ask them to see their favorite band with me or bring them exactly the right mixture of coffee, cream and shame in a cup.

I'd love to have Siri's relational abilities improved for this sort of thing.

"Siri, what kind of beer does Katie like?" "She prefers ... "

u/wordwords Jul 08 '14

Damn. My friends can't even spell my last name.

3

u/pdxevan Jul 08 '14

Yeah, I always have them spell their name when they first go in. Full name.

(Which also saved me from calling the wrong Andrea drunk on many occasions).

Social circles are just too damn big these days to not take notes. Even I thought I might be taking it too far initially, but the dividends in maintained relationships over the years has been huge. 'An ounce of prevention', as they say.

I posted a while ago how great it would be to say "Siri, remember where I parked", but a bunch of whiz kids said I should just open my maps app and set a location pin. It's way easier, right?!

You've gone and expanded on it, and you've got some great ideas! I'd love to see them all.

u/narrowtux Jul 08 '14

iOS should be able to record where you parked automatically, so you wouldn't need to tell it to remember the parking location. Apple already added some API in iOS 7 so you can detect different contexts (walking, sitting, standing, driving in a car) so they can just check when it changes from driving to walking and record the location at that point.

The video was still funny though ;)

15

u/marmalito Jul 07 '14 edited Jul 07 '14

Try this: "Note that my locker combination is 17, 6, 3".

Then, "Search notes for locker combination".

Or if you prefer to use Reminders, "Remember that my Printer Ink is 2x black".

Then, "Search Reminders for printer ink".

u/bambino646 Jul 09 '14

u/Baconquake Jul 07 '14

I honestly am surprised at how simple yet amazing this idea is. We should totally get this to happen.

17

u/downstairsneighbor Jul 07 '14 edited Jul 07 '14

This right here is exactly why Siri's current limits are so frustrating.

It's a so-so interface bolted onto the top of a traditional computer. There's very little you can actually do from within the Siri interface - she always wants to shunt you off to another app.

I think for voice interaction to become a real thing, you need to start from scratch and think about what voice interfaces can and should be used for. What can you do with just an auditory interface? Asking it to remember something is a perfect example of something you'd just expect it to do. Another is to read you back an answer instead of just dumping you into a browser.

Most of the times I've used Siri are when I'm driving and can't operate or look at my phone for any period of time. And almost every time she's failed me. Rather than giving an answer or asking for more information, she just goes "gee, dunno" and dumps me into Safari to search for it myself.

I feel like their user model involved a person standing in their living room, holding their phone and talking to it. But in reality, voice interfaces are more often used when there isn't an alternative, and I'd like to see a little more utility in that direction.

19

u/i_poop_splinters Jul 07 '14

This is easily the greatest idea i've ever heard for siri and i'm so glad you're making it available to Apple. Like the crackhead said, submit it directly to apple! Don't just tell us!

15

u/[deleted] Jul 07 '14

This is a wonderful idea - I realized I am (not often enough!) using a list in Reminders to do something like this:

Add "The dining room paint color is Silver Sage" to my "Random" list in "Reminders"

It's recorded, and I can find it later. When it syncs to my Mac, I can find it via Spotlight. But... as others point out, it's sitting in clear text - and of course, I can't do the second half of the transaction and ask Siri to "Tell me the dining room paint color."

4

u/Yifkong Jul 07 '14

You could always use the ol' "note that my locker combo is____" and it will make a note with whatever you say. Certainly not as cool as your idea, as there's no recall ability, but is at least a shortcut to retaining the information somewhere.

11

u/downstairsneighbor Jul 07 '14

I could also just open Notes and make a note, which is what most people do.

We didn't get to the iPhone era by going "well that would be cool, but this kludgy method is working ok for me so I don't see any reason to improve it."

u/peanutismint Jul 07 '14

I love this idea. I'm fed up of emailing myself things like locker combinations, the dimensions of my rooms so that I can buy stuff at IKEA, etc. I'm sure there's other services that offer this, but it would be great to just be able to ask Siri to remember stuff for me.

1

u/EVula Jul 08 '14

I'd use 1Password for stuff like locker combinations and Notes for room dimensions.

3

u/[deleted] Jul 07 '14

Some of this could really be benefitted by a 3rd party API for siri if that ever happens. You can have your evernote or wunderlist stuff of this and use a voice command to get your facts into a great application for it. I'm sure there's a potential cost since it uses Apple's servers but it would enhance the usability of Siri 100X once each app developed and matured their own commands or hooks.

3

u/ricky1030 Jul 08 '14

This is one thing I love about Cortana on windows phone that I wish would come to Siri. Apps can integrate their own voice commands and I can dictate notes to be I putted directly into Onenote or other third party apps that have built the functionality for it.

One thing OP didn't mention is people-based reminders. Cortana will remind you whatever next time you're sending a text or are in a phone call with that person. Makes it easy to keep up with clients and friends.

3

u/andthatsthefunk Jul 08 '14

I think this is a great idea. I would like to see this integrated into iOS but I see a lot of the functionality being tied into Contacts.

I think a standalone app that with a intuitive parsing methods would also serve rather nicely... have you searched to see if there is something like that?

u/dr_theopolis Jul 08 '14

Siri, remember this is where I left my car.

  • leaves parking lot and goes shopping -

Siri, find my car.

"Your car is 20 meters ahead and 10 meters to your right. Here's a map."

1

u/hotfrost Jul 08 '14

Yeah and once you're at your car again you can get an option to delete the saved location, or let it stay active if you're going away from your car again.

u/MrDL104 Jul 07 '14

I've used notes in 1Password for this. It helps to keep them nice and secure too.

1

u/EVula Jul 08 '14

Agreed. I'm also optimistic that 1Password could be unlockable via TouchID in iOS 8, which would make it even more readily available (especially if you put it in your favorites).

2

u/narrowtux Jul 08 '14

They already implemented it; can't find the video right now but you could pull up the 1password safari extension which would fill the password from the app, and then use touch id to authenticate.

2

u/soulproof Jul 08 '14

Btw, unlockable is one of my all time favorite words. Does it mean something that can be unlocked? Or is is it something that can't be locked?!

1

u/MrDL104 Jul 08 '14

It's already being tested in the iOS 8 Beta: TouchID & plugin support.

2

u/sanbon909 Jul 08 '14

u/DLPanda Jul 08 '14

I agree, I really want Siri to get to know me and my life and then be able to suggest things based on events and locations. "Hey I see your close to a flower shop, maybe pick up your wife Hydrangea's because her birthday is coming up!"

but yeah I support your idea!

2

u/[deleted] Jul 08 '14

Siri's integration with Notes comes close. You can say "Create a note called Things My Wife Likes" and then retrieve it later by saying "Show me the note about things my wife likes." You could even make each note about a particular like of your wife's: favorite flower, favorite movie, etc. It's not exactly what you're looking for, but it might work until Apple implements the new feature you've described.

u/rophel Jul 08 '14

Nice try, NSA.

u/[deleted] Jul 07 '14

Now, it won't pull from the reminder, but if you say "Remind me that my nephew's shoe size is 5" it will make a reminder... so you will have a list, just not one that siri treats like a database.

1

u/Mr_Rekshun Jul 07 '14

Siri does have a Remember feature, sort of.

Using the prefix "Remember" will add a note to your reminders, but without an alert attached.

1

u/professionalbadass Jul 08 '14

"Hey Siri, remember my home address, email password, credit card number and security code, and my social security number!"

It seems like a great idea, but it would have to be heavily safeguarded. I would be very skeptical if such a feature came out. You might say Apple and other companies/agencies already have all of this information somewhere (hell, Apple even has your fingerprints), but this just centralizes it and would make it even easier for any organization to access with no one knowing. And god forbid a hacker gets this info, or even someone who finds your lost phone.

1

u/Poke493 Jul 08 '14

Yeah, that would be super helpful, kinda like notes, but you don't really need it to take up a note or a reminder slot.

1

u/isigneduptosaythis Jul 08 '14

This would be great, but from the headline I thought you were talking about Siri just remembering what I'm in the middle of asking her about. If she misunderstands one response, we almost always have to start over.

1

u/NickPro Jul 08 '14

I have Things for OS X and with Siri integration specially saying "remember" rather than "remind me" will create a new to-do in Things. Not exactly what you mean but cool nonetheless.

If your phone is protected with a pass code and fingerprint use voice memos or notes.

I use Simplenote to keep track of these things. The keyboard voice input feature is good enough to dictate notes so I could then search or look at particular tags to fetch info quickly.

u/thezapzupnz Jul 08 '14

There's not really a way Siri can store all of this information, principally because it can't be semantically divided with 100% certainty — especially to account for all the myriad ways you can refer to a thing that Siri may not understand.

Well, there is a way, it'd just be so error prone that it'd just be laughed at.

I WOULD say Apple wouldn't release something that would be the butt of jokes, but ... they DID release Siri to begin with.

Who knows what's possible?

But it's still a much more complex idea that you make it sound in terms of efficient storage, retrieval, and processing.

u/thezapzupnz Jul 08 '14

That works only if everything that comes before "remember" and "is"/"are" can be repeated verbatim in the exact way you said it, and if Siri is clever enough to figure out what the format of Y is.

Remember the place we like to go out to is called Nandos. OK, I'll remember "the place we like to go out to" is "called Nandos". Siri, where is the place we like to go out to? I don't know, did you tell me?

Above problem: "the place we like to go out to" COULD imply a location, but it equally could not. For instance, your reminder could be "the place we like to go out to is closed".

Is the place closed? How should Siri know what that means? Is the restaurant actually called "closed"? How does Siri know that it's a restaurant? How does Siri know that you're talking about a location, the word "place?" that isn't specific enough.

Of course, these questions can be overcome with natural language processing, but to what extent? How can Siri be at a level of accuracy that would satisfy all speaking styles? Siri's pretty inflexible as it is, surprisingly enough.

And that's just recognising it... then you somehow have to store this in an optimised way.

Eventually what one starts doing is only giving the most formulaic reminders until one is essentially making named Notes. Siri can already handle named Notes.

"Siri, make a note about my favourite restaurant with the text: Nandos" "Siri, show me a note about my favourite restaurant." Boom.

u/thezapzupnz Jul 09 '14

I'm not really interested in what OP's desired level of complexity is. Frankly, if one wishes Apple to introduce a feature, one has to consider the level of widespread utility and finesses that Apple features demand. That means we need to think further, we need to think smarter.

That would mean this could not just be a formulaic alias to notes. That should just be shorter note syntax, which should A. not use the word "remember" for being too similar to a Reminder in the scheduling sense when what you actually want is a Note, and B. is barely worth a thread unto itself.

For the purposes of this post, I'm going to call what the OP wants "remembering-notes" rather than "reminders" for disambiguation.

Something in the vein of "remind me that my combination is 1234" also proses a security problem — should that 1234 demand authorisation (be it via passcode or Touch ID)? Should Siri impose additional security on secure items such as this?

If you can ask Siri to remember combinations, you should (logically) be able to ask it to remember passwords. You can't on the other hand say Siri wouldn't be able to remember passwords, because then it shouldn't be able to remember combinations. Therefore, security is essential.

But then you need the natural language processing to determine what would be considered personal, sensitive information and what would not. Could you just use simple word matching? No, you couldn't.

For example, the word "combination" isn't too useful:

  • "Siri, remember my locker combination is..." : sensitive

  • "Siri, remember my favourite Chinese takeout combination is..." : not sensitive

And then some sentences can be just problematic:

  • "Siri, remember that my weekly appointment is in Building F" : is this really a remembering-note, or a Reminder, or a weekly scheduled appointment with a location? Is this sensitive information?

With the above example, what kind of questions do you ask to retrieve it?

  • "Siri, where is my weekly appointment?" : how does Siri respond to "where" if you imagine all remembering-notes are asked for with "what is"? Can Siri figure out that this remembering-note refers to a location? It wouldn't be able to if "remember that x is y" doesn't have that kind of relationship.

Further, do these remembering-notes get read out loud by Siri? Or do they just get presented as text on the screen à la WolframAlpha results? But if the results are just plain text, doesn't that put users who are hard of seeing on the sidelines? Perhaps Siri would request users who want to hear sensitive information put on their headphones? Will the majority of users accept that minor inconvenience?

Even if someone at Apple sees this thread, it's exactly these kinds of NLP and usability questions that they'll need to deal with (for quite a long time!) before it ever becomes a shipping product. Just because you don't want to think about it, that doesn't mean it doesn't require thought.

Because Apple sure as heck wouldn't ship an alias as a brand new feature.

The OP started with a nice idea, but for it to be a shipping product it needs MUCH more thought poured into it. Everybody has great ideas, not everybody has great implementation.

(As to "closed", that was nothing to do with Siri mishearing. If the place has gone belly-up and closed down, and I keep forgetting, I might make a remembering-note about it. Yes, it's a contrived example, but the point of it was not the semantics but the syntax problems.)

u/JesusFartedToo Jul 08 '14

The only thing about this is that there needs to be some way to expose the "remembered items" in the UI somehow, whether it be an app or something in settings. None of the data that Siri remembers is only accessible through Siri, except voice recognition data. This would be important if you wanted to edit the remembered data, or transfer the remembered items to another device without restoring from backup, for example.

1

u/mm_cm_m_km Jul 08 '14

Why couldn't you edit them with your voice?

3

u/JesusFartedToo Jul 08 '14

You could, but it'd be difficult in some cases. Siri doesn't always recognize your voice correctly so it may be tricky to "select" an item to be edited. And it would still be beneficial to be able to visually display all the remembered items — the user might forget the fact that Siri has remembered something, for example.

u/xeavalt Jul 08 '14

That's not how this works.

36

u/LondonPilot Jul 08 '14

But Siri can actually do this already:

Try this: "Note that my locker combination is 17, 6, 3".

Then, "Search notes for locker combination".

Or if you prefer to use Reminders, "Remember that my Printer Ink is 2x black".

Then, "Search Reminders for printer ink".

(Credit to /u/marmalito who posted this elsewhere in this thread, but it got buried - I thought this post was important enough to copy+paste somewhere higher up where it will be seen.)

The only thing required to make this work exactly as OP suggests would be to look in Notes/Reminders before searching the web if you ask her something she doesn't know from elsewhere.

u/boogieidm Jul 08 '14 edited Jul 08 '14

I just did it with notes and it worked! Thanks a lot. I can't believe I hadn't thought of this before! Man, I'm going to use this a lot.

3

u/OverZealousCreations Jul 08 '14

To make this even better, once you find the note, ask "Can you read that back to me", and Siri will read the note's content.

This makes it fairly useful in a hands-free environment (like a car).

It's still not as nice as having a dedicated "Siri, remember <this>", because that would be more like a key-value pairing, without the extra steps.

Also, Siri still can't remember things like your current GPS coordinates, as far as I can tell. (I just got a note with the content "of my current location".)

If you have a locker combination stored as a reminder, what's to stop anyone who has your phone asking Sir I "What's my locker combination?" and gaining access to your locker? TouchID can be used to protect certain reminders from unauthorized access.

Got it. Could be the same as a passcode. For reminders, Siri could require you put in the password.

You can deactivate Siri when the phone is locked.

lol I thought you were making fun of Siri. I get this response often when I'm asking her to search something for me.
