I’m on the IOS 27 beta and Siri did those two tasks (weather/phone) flawlessly. It’s a lot better than it used to be.

Thanks for trying that! Very interesting.

Can you say this to it: "Hey Siri [wait for it to come up] - please send me an email with the temperature right now so I have it for my records." and see if it can complete the task without any backtalk or misunderstanding, and if you get exactly what you asked for. (It's a really clear request.) Should be 1 statement, no clarification, conversation, random search results, ("Here's what I found!"), etc.

A normal frontier model can do that - or Siri can do it if it is properly connected to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, or any other frontier AI - but previously it was never properly connected.

If it can do this task, I might have to look into this again. It counts as a success if it sends yourself any email with the current temperature and you actually get it (it can include whatever other text in the email), and a failure if it talks back, says "here's what I found", says it can't, asks you any question, sends you an email that doesn't actually contain the current temperature, just reads you the temperature and then asks if you want it to send an email, etc. Should be 1 shot.

let me know if it works!

It brings up a preview of the email and you have to tap or tell it to send it from there but otherwise it worked for this as well.
