Apple presents a major revamp of its voice assistant, “Siri AI,” at its developer conference, describing it as the biggest update to Siri in about 15 years. Multiple outlets report Apple is integrating Siri AI with Apple Intelligence and rebuilding the assistant to be more conversational and capable of handling multi-step requests. Apple says the assistant becomes more personalized by using personal context and can incorporate information from messages, emails, and photos, as well as respond to questions about what is shown on the screen. Several reports highlight new abilities such as acting across apps—like creating reminders, drafting messages, compiling information into menus, and helping users complete tasks.
Coverage also describes new access methods. Siri AI can be started through familiar controls (for example, “Hey Siri” and hardware button actions), and it is integrated into areas such as Spotlight and device UI elements like the Dynamic Island. Outlets also mention a dedicated Siri app with conversation history synced via iCloud, allowing users to continue chats across devices.
Apple says availability begins with developer testing now, followed by a broader public beta later in the year and a wider fall release. Some features rely on Apple Intelligence-compatible hardware, with support limited to newer devices.
