Starting today with the iOS 27.3, iPadOS 27.3, macOS 27.3, and visionOS 27.3 betas, a new Developer Preview enables any developer to integrate their app with Siri AI, giving businesses and developers new ways to reach and serve their customers.
Siri AI, an all-new version of Siri that’s deeply more capable, conversational and personal, is designed to be deeply integrated into Apple’s operating systems and the apps people use every day, including apps from our vast ecosystem of developers. Thousands of developers have already built integrations with Siri to ask users for directions, manage a to-do list, send a message or start an audiobook. Siri AI is available in many languages, including English, French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish and will soon expand to support traditional Chinese, Norwegian, Turkish and Vietnamese. People around the world turn to Siri AI to get things done every day, which means more customers can discover and use apps by just asking.
Today’s preview allows any app to bring its content and actions directly to Siri AI using App Intents, making it easier for all apps to use Siri AI’s newest capabilities, including personal context understanding, onscreen awareness, natural language, and more. So people can just ask for help in their own words, and Siri AI takes every personalized action you’ve built, from checking a delivery to booking a reservation to placing an order. For complex requests, we also introduce skills to teach Siri AI how to combine different actions into a single experience. And Siri AI can now surface any entity in Spotlight’s semantic index, not just those that match an existing schema.
We’ve started rolling out these new capabilities across many Apple apps, including Calendar, Files, Finder, Journal, Mail, Maps, Messages, Music, Notes, Photos, Preview, Reminders, Safari, Shortcuts and Weather, so users can do things like find a coffee shop they visited last week or archive files that haven’t been opened in more than a year. There are many more actions now available as examples for you to refer to. To see what you can do in any app, just ask Siri AI.
This developer beta offers a sneak peek at Siri AI app intent for developers. With this early developer preview, your app can work directly with Siri AI, giving you a first look at new ways to reach and serve your customers. This preview gives early access before the first shipment to customers in a few months; and with submissions to the App Store opening in the spring, developers have time to explore, build and contribute to their experiences before launch. Try it out and share your feedback.
As you’ll discover early on, we’re following up on more details about the terms and conditions of use for experiences enabled by Siri AI. More to share soon.
To learn more about the new APIs, how to use them, and how to evaluate your app experience with Siri AI, read the new documentation. You can also connect with Apple engineers in Apple Intelligence Group Labs on November 4-5 to ask questions, get advice and follow the discussion.
