Use Siri for shopping

We have seen Siri being used for almost everything now. We have seen controlling the home automation system, controlling your TV, and even locking and unlocking your house doors. But all these need the user to have installed a Siri Proxy and configure it. Which also means that the iPhone needs to be jailbroken. But what if you do not want to install Siri Proxy or you want to do something cool without having to install Siri Proxy? Well, here is something cool.

Use the new Wolfram for Siri, you can go very close to shopping appliances and electronics, by just speaking into your phone. Wolfram’s database has been updated to include Best Buy’s product catalog now. This means you can access the whole Best Buy product range on your iPhone by just speaking into your phone. But how do you do that? Will you get the whole list of thousands of products listed on your phone?

No, you will not get the whole list of thousands of products on your phone. You need to tell Siri which product in particular you want to have a look at, you just need to prefix the name of the  with ‘wolfram’. For example, if you want to browse for tablets in Best Buy, you just need to activate Siri on your iPhone and say “wolfram tablets” and you will get the complete catalog of tablets that are available on Best Buy.

But, you can not directly buy from here. That is, there are no links on the search results that you get. So you just have the option to look at the product details of the products you want. But we can say this is the first step to something awesome coming our way. We may get the option to buy it in the future. So, if you are interested, you need to test this.
