Apple Opens Siri to Third-Party AI Assistants
27 Mar
Summary
- New tools will let any App Store AI chatbot integrate with Siri.
- Users could prompt Gemini or Claude via the Siri app.
- Extensions system expected with iOS 27, possibly at WWDC 2026.

Apple is planning a significant overhaul for Siri, with a new 'Extension' system in development for iOS 27. This system aims to allow any AI chatbot installed from the App Store to integrate with Siri and other Apple Intelligence features. Users could then send prompts to their preferred AI assistants, such as Google Gemini or Claude, directly through the Siri interface, similar to the current ChatGPT integration.
This expansion of Siri's functionality is anticipated to be unveiled at WWDC 2026, with a potential release alongside iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27. While Apple has struggled to deliver a fully AI-powered Siri, these new extensions represent a significant step. The release timeline remains somewhat uncertain, with features sometimes being staggered post-launch, potentially extending into spring 2027.
