Just tried this:

Me: "Siri, find me a target."

<finds several targets>

Me: "Directions."

Siri: "Which target?"

Me: "Third one."

<gives directions to third one in list>

Also:

Me: "Siri, find me restaurants."

<lists restaurants>

Me: "Review for Blue Duck Tavern"

<lists review>

Me: "Other restaurants"

<lists restaurants>

Me: "Reservation for Founding Farmers."

Google Now will do some coreferences, but Siri is almost modal. You can talk to it like an assistant instead of trying to formulate everything as a search query. I had a Nexus 5 almost a year before getting my 6+, and I was always jealous of how much more practically useful Siri was on my wife's iPhone 5.



Just tried this on my Moto X:

Me: "Find me a target"

<nearest target shows up>

Me: "Directions"

<changes to "directions to target">

<shows a list of targets to select>

Me: "first one"

<chooses Portland Galleria Target>
