Siri, Book My Vacation: Apple's 'Workflow' Acquisition Hints At Coming AI Feats
Someday soon, you'll be able to tell Siri to book a flight to Chicago, get you a hotel on the Miracle Mile, reserve a table at Morton's, and get you tickets for the Cubbies. Today, to accomplish the same task, you need to dive into five or six different apps for hotels, flights, dinner reservations, sports tickets, and transfers between all the locations, and spend maybe 30 to 60 minutes sweating the details. But the day might be coming sooner rather than later that Siri can do it all for you. Today, Apple announced that it has acquired Workflow, an innovative iOS app that glues together functionality from multiple apps into a single, simple ... flow. Workflow currently allows you to take pictures and automate editing of them, or enter data and flow it to multiple places, or make PDFs out of web pages, or just about anything else you can imagine.
