Apple opens Siri AI to every app, and lets developers teach it skills

Apple opens Siri AI to every app, and lets developers teach it skills

AI summary

With the first iOS 27.3 betas, Apple opened a Developer Preview letting any developer expose app content and actions to Siri AI through App Intents, dropping the previous limit to predefined categories like messaging and to-do lists. It also introduced "skills" — Markdown SKILL.md files with a name, one-line description and plain-language guidance — that teach Siri AI to combine several actions into one job, though Apple says skills are guidance rather than a deterministic script. During the preview Siri AI works with an app only in developer-run builds or internal TestFlight, with App Store submissions opening in the spring and customer availability "in a few months".

Why it matters

It details a concrete shift in how third-party apps can reach Siri AI, including the skill file format and the preview's limits, which matters to anyone building or depending on iPhone automation.
