Siri Getting Smarter Everyday!

Siri began with “smart”, reached “smarter” and has now headed towards being the “smartest”!

We have confronted a hell lot many jailbreak tweaks to make Siri even better. But the latest app named “MyAssistant” outsmarts all its predecessors. MyAssistant app developed by Andrea Oliva and Saltb0x can run on Jailbroken iPhone 4S and any of the Siri-hacked iOS gadget. It is available on third-party app market Cydia Store (BigBoss Repository) for 99 cents. However, it is still a “work in progress”.

Features of MyAssistant:

This tweak has following features:

  1. Commands: The application adds several new commands to Siri. These commands include rebooting handset, click an image, power off, respring, lock, unlock, safe mode, get lyrics of a song and give battery percentage
  2. Custom Replies: Users can ask queries and create custom replies to them (up to 10 lines)
  3. System Toggles: Customers can manage system toggles via Siri. It covers Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth, Volume, Location, Airplane Mode and Brightness

  1. Activator Events: One can choose a hit word for Siri and attach desired Activator (a jailbreak app) function or feature to it. MyAssistant app allows use of Activator app to perform other system-level events
  2. Launch Applications Using Voice Commands: Go to MyAssistant Setting under “Open Apps” option. Here you can set a particular voice command to open a specific application. For example “Open Twitter” to launch Twitter

 

  1. Siri User Interface: Changing Siri’s background has now become possible. You simply need to pick one from photos app
  2. Compatibility: According to the developer, it works well with Spire, a third pary app that brings Siri to iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4

iDownloadblog has put together a walkthrough video of MyAssistant. Have a look:

Apple hinted at improving Siri’s functions, but never revealed what these improvements would be. Last year in November, rumor (Link to http://www.iphone5gfeatures.com/next-ios-5-update-ios-5-0-2-coming-up-next-week-ios-5-1-on-its-way-too/) surfaced that iOS 5.1 (1 (Link to http://www.iphone5gfeatures.com/third-beta-of-ios-5-1-hints-at-deep-facebook-integration/), 2 (Link to http://www.iphone5gfeatures.com/ios-5-1-does-not-remove-iphone-4s-call-audio-issues/), 3 (Link to http://www.iphone5gfeatures.com/ios-5-1-beta-2-available-for-developers-enables-removal-of-images-from-photo-stream/)) would enable users to capture images and manage system toggles via Siri. Well, after MyAssistant app’s launch, these new additions by Apple will be left with no meaning.
