Apple Reportedly Accelerates Push for Agentic Siri
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that Apple CEO John Ternus is pressing software chief Craig Federighi to accelerate Siri’s development toward more autonomous, agentic capabilities. The reported goal is for Siri to track goals, determine the next steps and pursue ongoing tasks without requiring the user to initiate every action. Gurman says this could happen as early as 2027, but Apple has not confirmed the timing or final features. Apple’s App Intents framework may provide a technical foundation, while an adjusted iOS 28 development process gives engineers more time to code and explore features before integration.
The report describes a potential shift for Siri from handling commands or one-off requests toward managing continuous, multi-step tasks, placing Apple alongside competing agent products such as OpenAI’s Dots, Meta’s Muse and Grok.
