While it was anticipated that Apple would enable Siri integration with users' chosen chatbots, a recent installment of Mark Gurman’s Power On column suggests a significantly broader strategic move. The company is reportedly "opening Siri and Apple Intelligence to third-party services." The upcoming "Extensions" feature, set to receive a dedicated App Store section, indicates that Apple's ambitions extend far beyond merely integrating with a couple of chatbots.
A cornerstone of this expansive strategy is the forthcoming iOS 27 Extensions feature. This innovative capability will empower users to install and operate a diverse range of third-party AI chatbots, moving beyond current offerings like ChatGPT, directly within the Siri interface. The establishment of a dedicated App Store section for these extensions will effectively create an "AI App Store," serving as a comprehensive marketplace for third-party artificial intelligence integrations.
