Apple Prepares to Open Siri to Third-Party AI in iOS 27

The move would make Siri a platform for user‑chosen chatbots through a new Extensions system.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported Friday that iOS 27 will let users route Siri requests to installed chatbots like Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, and ChatGPT via a new Extensions feature reportedly tested under the codename Campo.
  • Bloomberg says Apple is also building a standalone Siri chatbot app with conversation history, text or voice chat, file analysis, and deeper in‑app hooks for tasks such as writing and sharing content.
  • Apple announced WWDC 2026 for Monday, June 8, and the Siri overhaul is expected to be previewed there, though Apple has not confirmed specific features or rollout timing.
  • Apple and Google confirmed in January a multi‑year deal to base Apple’s next foundation models on Gemini, and reporting says heavier chatbot processing could run on Google’s TPU cloud while Apple continues to stress on‑device privacy.
  • Opening Siri to multiple AI providers would end ChatGPT’s privileged spot and could steer subscriptions through the App Store, which Bloomberg reports may let Apple take a commission while giving users real choice over which bot answers their queries.
