Apple is racing to make Siri more agentic
TL;DR
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says CEO John Ternus is pressuring AI czar Craig Federighi to accelerate the Siri roadmap and deliver a powerful AI agent that can compete with OpenAI's Dots or Meta's Muse. While Federighi has delivered a functional version of Siri AI on an incredibly short timeline, the company has no illusions that it's keeping pace with its rivals. Two significant improvements are expected to be made to Siri in the coming months.
Nauti's Take
The useful first test for a small team is concrete: check which actions Siri can actually perform in Photos and Safari, whether every change requires confirmation, and how mistakes can be undone. Until Apple confirms the roadmap and permissions, keep existing automations independent of these promised capabilities.
