Apple aiming to make Siri ‘more like an agent’ as soon as next year: report

Apple is reportedly planning to develop a more proactive Siri for users next year, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The tech giant has already launched its personalized Siri in iOS 27, but it still lacks the ability to proactively take actions on behalf of users, a feature that AI companies like Meta and SpaceX are focusing on.
Apple is reportedly experimenting with a new engineering pipeline that could accelerate development. The company has a strong foundation for this endeavor, with frameworks such as App Intents. Apple wants to make Siri more like an agent, allowing it to track goals, determine next steps and pursue objectives without constant user intervention.
This change may be driven by growing consumer and market demands. Apple is also providing engineers with more time to code and explore, rather than integrating features within the operating system. The M1 milestone of iOS 28 development has been given six weeks for coding and exploration, followed by two weeks for convergence. This change allows engineers more time to ideate and experiment before finalizing features.
