Apple released a Siri AI Developer Preview on November 3, 2026 with the iOS 27.3, iPadOS 27.3, macOS 27.3 and visionOS 27.3 betas. Any developer can now integrate an app with Siri AI.
Apps expose content and actions through App Intents. Siri AI can then carry out a custom action from a request in the user's own words, using personal context, onscreen awareness and natural language. Apple's examples include checking a delivery, booking a reservation and placing an order.
For complex requests, a new skills mechanism lets developers teach Siri AI how to combine several actions into one experience. Siri AI can also surface any entity in the Spotlight semantic index, not only those that fit an existing schema.
Apple is rolling out the same capabilities across its own apps, including Calendar, Files, Mail, Maps, Messages, Notes, Photos, Reminders and Safari.
The timeline: the preview gives early access before Siri AI app integrations ship to customers in a few months. App Store submission opens in the spring. Apple says terms and usage policies will follow.
Limits stated by Apple: Siri AI runs in English, French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish, with more languages coming. It is currently unavailable in the EU on iOS, iPadOS and watchOS, and not available to users under 13. Server-side features have daily usage limits, with expanded access for a fee planned.
Why this matters
Siri AI becomes a new entry point to apps, where users ask instead of tapping. For European teams, the EU restriction means iOS integrations cannot be tested with local users yet. The time to map app actions to App Intents is before spring submission opens.
