BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front): Apple is already planning Siri AI’s next steps after introducing the new version of the assistant in 2026. According to Bloomberg columnist Mark Gurman, the company wants to transform the tool into an autonomous AI agent next year.

In practice, this would mean an assistant capable of identifying patterns, recognizing contexts and suggesting new actions before the user even makes a decision. It is a common standard on the market in tools such as ChatGPT Dot and Meta Muse, for example, in which AI acts as a personal assistant that “does everything”.

The company’s new CEO, John Ternus, has already mentioned that agentic technology is “promising” in a conference with investors, but reinforced the need to create a secure and private process to use it.

Gurman’s column informs that Apple wants to follow this path and the news could appear in 2027 so that the company does not fall behind other competitors in the field of AI. Ternus even participated in a meeting with the company’s head of software, Craig Federighi, to demand greater urgency in the development of AI.

Siri AI was announced in 2024, but only made its appearance two years later with the iOS 27 update. Even with the delay, the assistant gradually gains new features and continues to be developed.

The Beta version of iOS 27.3 finally lets Siri manage actions between native iOS apps and allows third-party app developers to integrate the tool into their respective platforms. Furthermore, iOS 27.2 brought the assistant in more languages, including Portuguese.
