Just to get a brief background in where we are now and where we are going, one should at least be familiar with Siri and some of the things it can do.  Here’s a list of apps and services that Siri work with:

•     Phone
•     FaceTime
•     Music
•     Mail
•     Messages
•     Calendar
•     Reminders
•     Notes
•     Contacts
•     Weather
•     Stocks
•     Web Search
•     Find My Friends
•     Alarms, World Clock and Timer
•     Wolfram|Alpha (English only)
•     Wikipedia search
•     Maps
•     Local search with Yelp!

Also,  take a look at CALO.  CALO was an artificial intelligence project that attempted to integrate numerous AI technologies into a cognitive assistant. CALO was an artificial intelligence project funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and reportedly shares some history with Siri.
