Head to Head: Capabilities
For this contest — Cortana vs. Siri vs. Alexa vs. Google Assistant: The Best AI – we compiled results from notable websites that asked actual questions to each assistant.

One point is given for a task that is executed adequately, ideally via a voice response from the AI assistant, while two points are allocated for above-and-beyond accomplishments for each task (like an AI assistant coming up with fastest alternate routes along with an answer for your question about estimated time in traffic.) We also gave a half-point for each task done correctly, but with a few quirks and inaccuracies. Here are the results:
