Hey, Siri: Plug into my app like you said you'd do way back in 2024
Apple opened developer beta access for Siri AI app intents, enabling direct integration between Siri and third-party applications. The company plans to accept full App Store submissions for these capabilities in spring 2027, nearly three years after initially announcing the feature in 2024. This represents the latest step in Apple's effort to improve Siri's capabilities beyond basic functions like timers and weather. Siri has faced criticism for limited functionality and has struggled since Apple repositioned it as an interface for Apple Intelligence features in 2024, with several advertised capabilities delayed and even prompting a 2025 lawsuit over misleading marketing.
