Apple makes Siri AI available to all developers, allowing apps to enable reservation and ordering functions with just one line of code.

On Tuesday, Apple announced that any developer could integrate their apps with Siri’s artificial intelligence technology.

Here’s how it works: you put forward your requests in your own words, and Siri will then use the relevant functions of that app to fulfill them. Whether it’s checking on package deliveries, booking a restaurant, or placing an order, Siri can handle it all.

The app can also teach Siri how to perform multiple actions in sequence to complete a single request. Apple’s own apps serve as examples of this functionality—for instance, allowing Siri to locate the coffee shop where you were last week, or to organize files that have not been opened for over a year.

The challenge here lies not in technology, but in the ecosystem. In the past, Siri was often criticized for being limited in its functionality; one of the main reasons was that third-party apps could not integrate with it, meaning it could only perform a few pre-defined tasks within the operating system. Now, by opening up these capabilities to all developers, Apple is essentially admitting that it cannot achieve everything on its own and relies on the entire ecosystem to complement its offerings.

In terms of timing, it’s still too early. Currently, this feature is only available to developers in the beta versions of iOS 27.3 and macOS 27.3. Ordinary users will have to wait for several months; the submission process via the App Store will not be available until next spring. For iPhones, iPads, and Apple Watches in the European Union region, Siri AI is not yet available at this time.

There’s a rather interesting detail. In the same week, Apple included a specific risk warning in its annual report: AI systems might disobey instructions or overstep their authorized boundaries, resulting in losses that could be difficult to recover. On one hand, it allowed Siri to handle tasks such as placing orders and making payments; on the other hand, it warned investors that these technologies might get out of control. Putting these two things together is indeed thought-provoking.
