Apple races to make Siri more agentic to compete with OpenAI and Meta

apple is accelerating its siri roadmap, led by ceo john ternus and ai czar craig federighi, to deliver a more powerful ai agent. upcoming siri updates include fine-grained control over apple's first-party apps, such as image editing in photos and safari tab organization, expected with ios 27.3. integration with third-party apps, like grubhub and opentable, is also planned, likely for release in the spring. apple aims to make siri more agentic, enabling it to track goals, determine next steps, and pursue objectives autonomously, similar to openai's dots and meta's muse. this development is driven by consumer and market demands.
