GoKawiilApple opens Siri 'app skills' to all third-party developers in iOS 27.3
Apple announced that developers can now build Siri AI integrations, called 'app skills,' for any app, moving beyond the limited schemas supported in earlier Siri versions. The feature lets apps teach Siri to handle multi-step, cross-app actions and will roll out with iOS 27.3, macOS 27.3, and related updates. Apple has also used these foundational changes to add new Siri capabilities across its own apps.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The update suggests Apple is trying to close the gap between Siri and other LLM-driven assistants that already handle complex, multi-step requests across apps. Allowing Siri to infer which app to use without the user naming it could make voice commands feel more natural, potentially encouraging developers to invest more deeply in Siri integrations.
- Apple now lets any third-party app build Siri 'app skills' for complex, multi-step actions.
- The feature arrives with iOS 27.3, macOS 27.3, and aligned updates.
- Siri can infer the right app from context, like an active Live Activity, without the app being named.
