Siri Alternative for Mac That Does the Whole Task

"Hey Siri, remind me tomorrow at nine to go through the financials with Freddy." Siri is good at that. Then you ask it to put last week's leads into the CRM, or to find the brand deck and attach it to an email, and you are back to doing it yourself.

Incredible is a voice assistant for the Mac built for the second kind of request. You talk to it like Siri and it answers out loud. Then it does the task in your apps and your own browser, the way you would.

Start with what Siri does well: reminders

The recording above starts with the classic assistant request, by voice:

"Could you set up a reminder for me for tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. to go through our financials with Freddy?"

"I'll set that up," Incredible answers. A second reminder for 1 p.m. today goes in the same way, and both appear under Schedule in the app, in a calendar you can browse. So far, Siri could do the same.

Then ask for something Siri doesn't do

Because Incredible clicks and types, the next request can be any job on your Mac:

• "Take the leads in this spreadsheet and enter each one in my CRM." In this recording it does exactly that in a CRM in the browser.
• "Find the brand guidelines deck from last week." It searches your folders, and SharePoint once connected, and tells you where the file is (how it works).
• "Organize my Downloads folder." It sorts loose files into folders by type (on video).
• "Book a meeting with Fredrik tomorrow at 10 and tell Nikola in Slack I'll be back in 30 minutes." It drafts both and waits for your go (the full conversation).

You hold the fn key, say it, and let go. It sees the screen in front of you, so "this spreadsheet" and "reply to this" need no explaining. It works in your signed-in browser, which covers the portals and admin panels that no assistant has an integration for, and it asks before anything is sent.

“It’s Copilot on steroids.”

What the new Siri AI does

Apple rebuilt Siri for this year's software. From Apple's own pages, read on 21 October 2026:

• Where it runs. Siri AI is available in beta in macOS 27. Apple's Mac guide says it needs a MacBook Neo (A18 Pro) or a Mac with M1 or later.
• Languages. "Available in English to start," says Apple's Apple Intelligence page.
• What it can do. It holds back-and-forth conversations and understands your personal context. Apple's macOS page says Siri AI can take actions in apps like Messages, Music, Reminders, and more, and answer questions about a screenshot of what is on your screen.
• Limits. "Usage limits may apply," and Apple says expanded access to server-side features "will be available for a fee in the future."

If your day is mostly Apple's own apps and you have a recent Mac, Siri AI is worth turning on. It is free and built in.

Siri AI and Incredible side by side

The two get along. Keep Siri for a timer or a song, and hold fn for the work.

Other Siri alternatives on the Mac

ChatGPT Voice in the desktop app lets you talk through ideas and coordinate tasks in Chat, Work and Codex, on paid plans, and can use screen context on macOS. How Incredible compares with ChatGPT.

Gemini in Google's Mac app has Speak to Window: press and hold the fn key and Gemini shapes, edits and creates content in the app you are in, still rolling out. Its Task mode runs multi-step chores in the background with your approval.
