Founders of a well-known assistant have long considered the next step beyond search engines. Their vision is to create a tool that helps users accomplish tasks. This concept was developed into a product called Siri, which was later acquired by a major technology company.

The creators had a specific goal in mind when they founded their startup in 2007. They wanted to make a "do engine" that would assist users in getting things done.

Further information about the founders' vision and the development of Siri is available from the source, including details about the acquisition and the product's current usage.
