Apple Opens Siri AI App Integration Preview to All Developers

Apple opened a developer preview Tuesday for connecting apps to Siri AI through App Intents, extending the assistant to tasks people can handle inside third-party apps. The preview begins with developer betas of iOS 27.3, iPadOS 27.3, macOS 27.3 and visionOS 27.3.

Developers can use App Intents to make app content and actions available through Siri. Examples include checking a delivery, booking a reservation or placing an order. Apple also introduced “skills,” which can combine several actions into one experience.

The Nov. 3 preview is specifically for app integrations. Apple introduced Siri AI in June and made its features available for developer testing then. The new preview gives any app a way to connect its content and actions to Siri.

The announcement is separate from Apple’s five-language expansion of the Siri AI beta, announced Oct. 26. That update covered language availability; the new preview focuses on how apps can surface content and actions through the assistant.

Apple expects the first integrations to reach customers in a few months. App Store submissions are set to open in the spring. Apple did not provide calendar dates for either milestone.
