Apple opens Siri AI to every developer in a preview inside the 27.3 betas
Apple released a Developer Preview on November 3, 2026, that lets any app connect to Siri AI through App Intents. Apps can expose their own actions and content, combine several actions into skills, and surface any item from the Spotlight semantic index. The feature reaches users in a few months, and App Store submissions open in the spring.
Apple opened Siri AI to all developers on November 3, 2026, with a Developer Preview in the iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS 27.3 betas. The preview lets any app hand its content and custom actions to the assistant through App Intents. Apple says users will get the feature in a few months and that App Store submissions open in the spring, so for now this is a window to build and test rather than to ship.
What an app can do with Siri AI
App Intents is the framework an app uses to describe its actions and data to the system. Through it, Siri AI can carry out an app's custom actions when someone asks in their own words, such as checking a delivery, booking a table, or placing an order. Apple says those actions can use Siri AI's understanding of personal context, its awareness of what is on screen, and natural language.
Two additions go beyond single actions. Skills let a developer teach Siri AI how to combine several actions into one experience for complex requests. Siri AI can also surface any entity an app puts in the Spotlight semantic index, not only the ones that fit one of Apple's existing schemas.
Apple says it has started rolling the same capabilities into its own apps, including Calendar, Files, Mail, Maps, Messages, Notes, Photos, and Reminders. The company points developers to those apps as reference examples of what an action can look like.
Timing and limits
The preview is beta-only. Apple has not yet published the terms and usage policies for experiences built on Siri AI and says more details will follow. Developers can ask Apple engineers questions in Apple Intelligence Group Labs sessions on November 4 and 5, 2026.
Siri AI works in English, French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish, with Traditional Chinese, Norwegian, Turkish, and Vietnamese announced. Serbian is not on either list. In the EU, Siri AI is not available on iOS, iPadOS, or watchOS, and it is not available to users under 13.
Server-side Apple Intelligence features, Siri AI among them, have daily usage limits that Apple does not quantify. The company says expanded access will cost a fee in the future.
