AI News/Wire summary
Apple lets Siri AI carry out tasks across third-party apps
Key points
- Developers can integrate Siri AI features in all apps through the iOS 27.3 Developer Preview, rolling out Tuesday.
- New "app skills" let developers combine several tasks into one action for Siri AI to run.
- Users reportedly won't need to name an app while it is in the foreground, in a Live Activity, or in a Siri AI conversation about it.
- Apple's own apps, including Mail, Maps, Photos and Notes, gain the same expanded Siri AI capabilities.
Why it matters for marketers: Content and app teams can plan for voice-driven, multi-step actions inside their apps, so in-app flows may need rethinking for Siri AI requests.
