Apple opened its new Siri to every app, with App Store submissions opening in spring
On 3rd Nov'26 Apple opened a developer preview in the iOS 27.3, iPadOS 27.3, macOS 27.3 and visionOS 27.3 betas that lets any developer connect an app to Siri AI, the new conversational Siri, through App Intents. Once connected, Siri AI can use an app's actions and content in response to plain requests, such as checking a delivery or placing an order, and developers can build skills that chain several actions into one request. Apple says Siri AI reaches customers in a few months, App Store submissions for these experiences open in spring, and the terms and usage policies will follow later. Heavier use of its server features carries daily limits, with paid expanded access planned. It is not available in the EU on iPhone and iPad, and Arabic is not among its supported languages.
What it actually means
On 30th Oct'26 DoorDash said outside AI agents had placed only several hundred orders in total, which shows how little shopping happens when an agent is a separate product people have to find and trust. Apple is putting the agent inside the phone people already carry, so for anyone running an app the question shifts from whether to build a chatbot to whether Siri can find and run the actions your customers already take. Siri can only use what your app describes through App Intents, so the work is naming those actions and their inputs clearly enough for a model to pick the right one.
Use the months before spring to expose two or three of your most common tasks and test how Siri handles them in the beta. Hold off on a business case for now, because Apple has not published its terms, and customers in the EU or using Siri in Arabic cannot use it at all yet.
Siri can only do in your app what your app describes to it, so write those descriptions before spring.
