Apple opens the new AI-powered Siri to every app
· Aster editorial team
AI-generated imageApple launched a developer preview that lets any app connect to Siri AI, its more conversational version of the assistant. Apps can offer actions such as checking a delivery, booking a table or placing an order, and combine several steps into a single request. It reaches the public “in a few months.”
Why it matters
If you use an iPhone, you’ll soon be able to ask Siri for tasks inside your apps in your own words. It will work in Spanish and other languages, though for now not in the EU on iPhone, nor for users under 13.
For the technical crowd
It plugs into App Intents in the 27.3 betas of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS and visionOS; “skills” chain actions together, and Siri AI can use any item in Spotlight’s semantic index. There will be daily usage limits, a future fee for expanded access, and App Store submissions open in the spring.
