GoKawiilGM adds in-house AI assistant to OnStar, debuting in 2027 Cadillac Lyriq
General Motors unveiled an OnStar AI Assistant at its GM Forward event, set to debut in the 2027 Cadillac Lyriq EV before rolling out to more vehicles. GM also plans a new OnStar mobile app in 2027 that will replace the existing OnStar Guardian app and separate Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC apps, syncing with in-car software.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The move marks GM building its own AI assistant in-house rather than relying solely on Google, whose Gemini assistant it previously said would arrive in vehicles in 2026, suggesting GM wants more control over the driver experience. Consolidating multiple brand apps into one platform could simplify GM's subscription strategy, which the company has said it wants to grow into a $25 billion business by 2030.
