Episode Description: 
Siri's got a new cousin: Nina. She's a voice recognition personal assistant meant to work within apps. You would interact with it just like you would Siri, but within that application, you have the option at any time to basically invoke Nina as an assistant to help you get work done. Still, Nina may have the same voice recognition problems that Siri has.
