Meet Taki 2.0 Superintelligence. Think, research, and get things done with one connected intelligence. Ask in plain words, by voice or by text, and Taki gets it done across your iPhone: send a text, add a calendar event, set a reminder, get directions, check the weather, read your steps, dim the lights, play a song, track a package — all from one place. No rigid commands. Just talk the way you'd talk to a friend. WHAT TAKI CAN DO • Messages & calls — draft and send texts or emails in your own voice, save contacts, place calls • Calendar & reminders — add, move, find, and clear events; get reminded when you arrive somewhere • Maps & weather — find what's nearby, get directions, answer "will it rain?" • Health — check steps, sleep, heart rate and more; log water or workouts; see your trends • Photos — search your library on-device ("beach photos") and ask what's in a picture • Music & home — play music and control HomeKit lights, locks, and thermostats • Alarms, timers & stopwatch — with a Clock tab to manage them all • Lists, notes, expenses & habits — capture it all just by asking • Live info — sports scores, stock and crypto prices, flight status, and countdowns • Get moving — hand off to your favorite ride, food, and reservation apps in a tap LIVE ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN Live Activities and the Dynamic Island keep the moment in view: a "time to leave" countdown that reads live traffic, package delivery updates, flight arrivals, timers, and alarms — all in a clean glass design.
