Siri will not launch Adobe Illustrator when told to, she instead searches the web for the exact phrase.

Hello everyone,


I am experiencing a problem with voice commands for Siri. When I ask Siri to open Photoshop ("hey Siri, launch adobe photoshop"), there is absolutely no problem in doing that, it will launch. But when I tell her the same command with Illustrator ("hey Siri, launch adobe illustrator"), she only gives me the search web results for the exact phrase "launch adobe illustrator". So, she obviously recognise what I say, but somehow this specific app does not seem to work.


I have tried it with the word "open" instead of "launch", with and without the word "adobe", with and without the determiner "an" or "a". I do not understand why she has no problem with Photoshop, but is not able to open Illustrator with the same command.


I am using MacBook Pro M2 2022 8/256GB with Sonoma 14.5.


Thanks a lot for any ideas!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 14.5
