Siri AI is much more intelligent and personalized compared to classic Siri, but it is still not nearly as advanced as proactive, always-on agents like OpenAI’s Dots and Meta’s Muse. That may change, though, according to a new rumor.
In his Power On newsletter today, Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman said he was told that Apple could make Siri function « more like an agent » as early as next year. However, if this plan moves forward, the exact implementation remains to be seen.
« 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, » said Gurman. « 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. »
Apple’s AI ambitions could go beyond making Siri more agentic. In a closed-door meeting in recent weeks, Gurman said that Apple CEO John Ternus told Apple’s software engineering chief Craig Federighi that Apple needs to « accelerate » its software roadmap and « move quickly beyond merely making necessary improvements to Siri. »
