Apple expands Siri AI tools for third-party apps
AI · First reported 3 Nov, 19:25 · Updated 20:04
Apple is previewing tools that let developers connect apps to Siri AI and teach it to carry out multi-step tasks. The features are in developer testing, with customer availability timelines described differently across the reports.
- Apple says developers can create custom Siri integrations, including skills that coordinate multiple actions in one request.
- Examples include finding a product in one app and sharing it through a messaging app, and using an active ride-sharing Live Activity to interpret a request to change a ride address.
- The reports say the expanded integrations are in developer testing; one says they will arrive with iOS 27.3 and aligned releases, while the other says customer experiences are expected in a few months and App Store submissions in spring 2027.
