<p>My main objective was to see if I could issue multi-intent commands in one go. Obviously, Siri cannot do that (neither can Alexa, Cortana, or Google Assistant). The script here can issue either a single command, or use the help of OpenAI's DaVinci model to extract multiple commands and pass them onto siri.</p>
