Apple opens Siri AI actions to third-party apps
Apple is expanding Siri AI beyond its built-in functions by allowing developers to integrate actions into third-party apps. The iOS 27.3 Developer Preview lets apps use features including natural-language prompts, access to a user’s personal context, and awareness of what is visible on the screen to complete requests.
Developers can also create “app skills,” which combine several tasks into one action. According to Apple’s documentation, users may not need to name the app when invoking one of these skills, allowing Siri to determine which app and action are needed.
The preview marks an early step toward a more interconnected version of Siri, though the article does not specify which third-party apps will support the new capabilities or how broadly they will be available to users.
