I can't imagine trusting this guy, or anyone willing to work with him, with ... anything, let alone implicit and explicit access to medical information, until he presumably grows up a bit a decade or two from now.

  5. A similar thing was done with Siri and a garage door a while ago: http://delian.io/siri-open-the-garage It's curious that in both cases you actually have to create a special app to enable any custom behavior from your phone. It would be nice if there were a bit more extensibility in these automated assistant/search/whatever thingies.
