Exactly. Looks like everybody's complaining that Siri isn't a better Ask Jeeves, when that's not the design goal. What people expect is an LLM that has full access to the phone. Nobody's even remotely close to shipping that.

I just want "set timer for 5 minutes" and "what time is it" to work reliably, 100% of the time.

    Works on Siri! You can even set – get this – multiple timers ;)

      I seem to get about 90%; wife gets closer to 80%. I just want it to be better.

        Activate Siri and then say the amount of time you'd like on the timer. For me, that's holding the side button then only saying, "20 minutes."

        The one caveat is that once the timer you want is two and a half hours or longer, then Siri replies by asking what you would like to convert to.
