SiriProxy is a proxy server designed to enhance Apple's Siri assistant. It facilitates the creation of custom handlers, which allow developers to extend Siri's capabilities. By intercepting Siri requests, SiriProxy can route them to custom plugins, enabling actions not natively supported by Siri. This provides a platform for seamless integration with external services and devices.
