Hey, Siri: Plug into my app like you said you'd do way back in 2024
More than two years after promising it, Apple lets developers test Siri AI app integration
Apple has unveiled expanded Siri AI integration for developers in beta iOS and macOS updates. Next spring, third-party app submissions will begin utilizing these new capabilities. Siri AI, set to debut with expanded language support, will let developers build apps that interact directly with Siri. However, support is currently limited to certain languages and regions, with availability in the EU pending regulatory negotiations.
Apple's Siri, introduced in 2011, gained wider app access in 2016 and was integrated with Apple Intelligence in 2024. Siri AI's arrival marks a shift toward understanding context and chaining actions across apps. Despite its promise, Siri AI faces limitations in language support and region availability. Developers will need alternatives for global app compatibility, and Apple's Private Cloud Compute presents a potential solution.
