Here are four to try today:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Siri<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re an iOS user, you\u2019ve more than likely used Siri for one thing, or another.

It can pick up on multiple ways of asking the same questions, so you don&#8217;t need to worry about remembering the exact phrasing for commands.\u201d You can use Siri in a number of ways like asking for directions, setting reminders, posting to social media, and searching the web. Did you know you can also set location based reminders. Here is an example, say you want Siri to remind you to follow up with a new lead when you arrive at the office, simply enable the feature with the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/HT205890\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">steps below<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and tell Siri. <\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enable location services for reminders under Settings&gt;Privacy&gt;Location Services<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add your work or home address to your contact card in Contacts.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then go to Settings &gt; General &gt; Siri &gt; and tap My Info. Tap your contact card to add it to My Info.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tell Siri \u201c[Contact] is my home\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Repeat for work, school or any other frequent location<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now Siri can do reminders for when you leave or arrive somewhere <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><b>2. Cortana<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cortana is designed by Microsoft and is available on their desktops, mobile devices, and Xbox One consoles.
