GoKawiilApple may give Siri agentic, task-completing abilities in 2026, Gurman reports
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that Apple is working to make Siri function more like an autonomous agent, capable of pursuing multi-step goals without constant user prompting, potentially arriving as soon as next year. Gurman also says Apple is testing a new internal engineering pipeline giving developers more time to code and experiment rather than focus on integration work.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Rivals like Meta and xAI have already pushed proactive agent tools such as Muse and Grok, putting pressure on Apple to catch up in an area it has so far avoided with Siri's current personalized but reactive design. Gurman suggests Apple's existing App Intents framework could let it build agentic features more efficiently than competitors relying on costly computer-use models, though nothing is confirmed about what Apple will actually ship.
- Gurman says Apple may make Siri agentic as early as next year
- Competitors like Meta and xAI already offer proactive AI agents
- Apple is reportedly reworking its internal engineering process for faster development
Apple HomePod mini — If Siri is getting smarter and more proactive, having a HomePod mini around means you get to actually use those upgrades hands-free throughout your home. It's a great low-cost way to tap into Apple's voice assistant ecosystem as it evolves toward more agentic capabilities.
