Sometimes Siri does a good job of voice recognition and sometimes it is garbage. A bit frustrating! I find the voice dictation on the keyboard is more consistent than Siri.
In addition to telling Siri about relationships (like mom, husband, brother, etc), you can teach Siri how to say names. All you do is tell Siri that's not how you pronounce it when it's wrong.
I use Siri to set reminders such as remind me to do abc when I get to work. I also use it to set alarms.
I use Siri for sending quick text messages. Siri is also good for finding emails. For example you can ask Siri to find emails from Abc and then select the one you want to read or reply to and it opens it in Mail all ready to go.
In addition to asking Siri to define a word as someone mentioned earlier, you can be specific and say show me in Wikipedia instead of the default dictionary.
I use it to say show me images of xyz. I use it to look up information such as weather, sports scores and movie times.
I use it frequently to open apps as others have mentioned.
Really all you have to do is ask and see what happens. Sometimes you have to think about how to phrase the question better to think in terms of the commands Siri might need to execute to do what you ask.
