They're calling it Majel, as in Majel Barrett. At least that's the name they're using in testing.

This is not a feature I have any need of. Right now it's a novelty and nothing more.

It is more than a novelty. It speeds up access to many things.

Hit the record button and say "NBA scores" it instantly loads ESPN with current scores.

Say "<insert movie name> <city> <state>" and it brings up Fandango with a list of theaters showing that movie in your city and the ability to buy tickets immediately.

Sure you could do that yourself manually, but it would take a lot longer, so why do it?

Iris is not a Google product, and it's shit.

... but only if you are American.

I can do all those things on my Android with two clicks of my thumb and without having to speak a word.
