Hard to beat the on-boarding experience—just input your number and get going. I like the thought that went into making it as simple as possible.

The response times seem instantaneous, which given what's going on under the hood, probably wasn't the easiest to accomplish. The speed went a long way to keep me engaged and trying new queries. What tech stack does any given query hit and what pieces needed the most focus to keep request latency low?

My major question is, when would I use this over Siri?

Siri is usually good enough for the same types of queries I tried. Good enough and faster access to Siri will probably make my use of something like Myra limited in current form.

For a more concrete example, if I am in the Mission and I don't know what's good to eat, I'll hold down my home button on the iPhone and ask siri: "restaurants in the mission". From there it's easy to get into Yelp and then do all my further refinements and actions without needing to text or form any more natural language queries.

Now, if future functionality is in place that gets over that 'good enough' barrier, I think this is on to something.

Kudos.
