Apple to Transform Siri into AI Chatbot with Typing and Voice Capabilities
By
Emma Roth
Toasted to a respectable shade. No regrets, no crumbs left.
Summary
Apple is planning a major overhaul of Siri that will transform the voice assistant into an AI chatbot similar to ChatGPT and other modern AI assistants. The update, expected later this year, will replace the existing Siri interface and allow users to interact with the assistant through both typing and voice commands. This change is separate from the AI-powered personalization features coming to Siri in the next few months, and will make Siri more competitive with offerings from Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic.
