Siri lifts veil on intelligent assistant. Heading toward the iPhone App store this fall.

What could be one of the most significant advances in artificial intelligence in a decade is heading toward the iPhone App store this fall.

Siri http://siri.com/ , a San Jose company, announced last month that it would offer an "intelligent agent" for Apple’s iPhone that would, the company said, be able to find movie theaters, book restaurant reservations and airline flights, buy from online retail sites and even answer trivia questions like "How many calories are in a banana," all by understanding spoken commands.

Dag Kittlaus, CEO of Siri, which emerged from stealth mode to announce the product, said, "The future of search isn’t search. It is a conversation with someone you trust."
