🗣️Apple Opens Siri AI to Developers Via App Intents in 27.3 Beta

Your app can now talk to Siri AI directly

Apple just opened Siri AI to every app that bothers to implement App Intents. The Developer Preview landed in the 27.3 betas, and it lets your app hand actions straight to Siri, which then runs them from natural language. If you already expose actions through App Intents, you're most of the way there. The new Skills feature lets you teach Siri AI to chain several actions into one experience, so a request like finding a photo in one app and sending it from another becomes a single command. Requests without an app name route to the foreground app, the app behind an active Live Activity, or whatever app the conversation last mentioned. Background apps only get requests that name them explicitly, so plan your handoffs accordingly. The catch? Access is restricted to developer builds and internal TestFlight testers during the Preview, and Siri AI is currently unavailable in the EU on iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS. Apple says usage limits may apply to all Apple Intelligence features, with extended premium access planned later. Apple is also positioning this approach against Google's AppFunctions, so expect a comparison fight between the two platforms.
