Assistantd high CPU
Hi, is it normal for assistantd to spike up between 50-140 in CPU? My macbook pro 2018 keeps on getting heated, is there's a way to fix it? I've read that it should be related to SIRI or dictation, but I don't use it..

Hi there emilija2018,
Thanks for posting. We see you've noticed the assistantd process is using a lot of resources on your Mac and it's running warm. That's definitely a good thing to check into, and we're happy to help.
It's normal for your Mac to become warm sometimes while in use. How often is this happening?
Does it seem to happen when you're using a particular app?
Does it happen if you boot your Mac up in safe mode and check Activity Monitor? Knowing that would help to rule out a few possible software causes: How to use safe mode on your Mac. After you test, you can click Apple menu () > Restart to get back to normal.
Take care.
