Future iterations of Siri are designed to manage third-party applications and execute complex workflows.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that Chief Executive Officer John Ternus is pressuring AI chief Craig Federighi to expedite the Siri roadmap. The goal is to develop a robust AI agent capable of rivaling OpenAI’s Dots or Meta’s Muse. Although Federighi has delivered a functional version of Siri AI on a remarkably tight timeline, the company recognizes it is currently lagging behind its rivals.
Two major enhancements are expected to arrive in the coming months. One feature will grant Siri precise control over Apple’s native applications, enabling actions such as rotating or cropping images in Photos and organizing Safari tabs. These capabilities are slated for release with iOS 27.3. A more significant shift involves integration with third-party apps, which is projected to launch in the spring. This would allow Siri to handle tasks such as placing orders through Grubhub or booking dinner reservations via OpenTable.
However, this is only the beginning. Apple plans to push Siri toward becoming more agentic, allowing it to manage ongoing operations rather than simple one-off requests. Gurman states: "Dots, Muse and Grok can keep track of goals, determine what needs to happen next and continue pursuing objectives without the user initiating every individual step. Apple ultimately wants to go in this direction, I’m told, and I believe the company could make Siri more like an agent as early as next year — not that it has much of a choice, given current consumer and market demands."
