macOS Mojave enables hands-free 'Hey Siri' on the iMac Pro [Video] - 9to5Mac
While I've long been skeptical about Siri's usefulness on the Mac, having a modal Hey Siri opens up a whole bunch of new use case scenarios that make Siri a much more handy desktop assistant. In my 2018 MacBook Pro review, I noted the following:
You might think of Siri on the Mac as a gimmick, but it opens up the opportunity for productivity gains. Because Siri is modal on the Mac, and doesn't take up the full screen like it does on iOS, it's especially useful for multitasking. For example, I can be typing a sentence in Pages, while I simultaneously ask Siri to open my Downloads folder so that I can insert an image that I downloaded earlier into the document.
Indeed, Siri is much more useful now that it doesn't require a button press or a mouse click to invoke. And now, with the addition of HomeKit control support in macOS Mojave, Siri is even more useful. For instance, I can control my lights, thermostat, and door locks using hands-free Siri on my iMac Pro or MacBook Pro.
