dash.Should I use Dash or Siri?
Siri is the fastest way to do things on your iPhone: set a reminder, start a song, send a quick message, all by voice. It's already there, nothing to set up.
Dash knows your semester. It reads your syllabus or learning system, keeps every deadline, texts you first, answers questions about your school and does errands like booking a study room once you say yes.
Can Dash and Siri work together?
Yes. Dash is a text thread in Messages, so you can ask Siri to text Dash for you. Dash's reminders land in Messages like any other text.
What does Dash do that Siri doesn't?
- Saves every assignment, quiz and exam from your syllabus and texts you before each one.
- Sends a short morning briefing on days something is due.
- Answers campus questions using your school's official sources.
- Orders food, books appointments and phones businesses, each time after your yes.
