Siri's AI Upgrade: Control Apps, Perform Complex Tasks
9 Nov
Summary
- Siri will gain fine-grained control over first-party apps.
- Third-party app integration is expected later in Spring.
- Future Siri aims to perform ongoing tasks, not just one-offs.
Apple is accelerating its Siri roadmap to develop a more powerful AI agent capable of competing with rivals like OpenAI and Meta. Significant upgrades are planned for Siri in the coming months, aiming to enhance its capabilities beyond current limitations.
Initial improvements will grant Siri finer control over Apple's first-party applications. Users can expect Siri to perform actions such as rotating and cropping images within the Photos app and organizing Safari tabs, likely arriving with iOS 27.3.
The most substantial change will be the integration with third-party applications. This feature, anticipated for release in Spring, will allow Siri to perform tasks like placing orders on Grubhub or booking reservations on OpenTable.
Looking further ahead, Apple intends for Siri to become more agentic. This means the assistant will be equipped to handle ongoing tasks, evolving from its current capacity for single, one-off commands.
