Apple is reportedly all set to turn Siri from a command-driven voice assistant into an AI agent that can pursue goals and complete multi-step tasks. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported that Apple could make Siri ‘more like an agent’ as early as next year, although the company has not confirmed the plan.
The reported shift would mark a major change in how people use Siri. Instead of issuing a separate instruction for every action, users could ask Siri to manage a broader task while the assistant tracks progress and carries out the required steps.
An agentic Siri would need to work across Apple’s apps and, eventually, third-party services. The report suggests Apple is developing deeper integration with its own applications, including Photos and Safari.
Reported examples include editing or rotating images in Photos, organising Safari tabs and editing messages. These features may arrive through iOS 27.3 and could reach the public as early as December.
Third-party app support is expected to take longer. Reports indicate that broader integration may appear as a preview in spring 2027, rather than in the initial rollout. Apple faces growing pressure to keep pace with rivals in generative AI. Gurman reported that Apple CEO John Ternus is pushing AI chief Craig Federighi to accelerate the company’s Siri roadmap.
The company reportedly wants Siri to operate more autonomously, completing ongoing tasks without requiring a new command at every stage. Gurman said consumer and market demand leaves Apple with little choice but to move in this direction.
Apple did not announce the launch date or any details on which features will ship first. Gurman’s report is a forecast based on information from sources, not an official product announcement.
The report also does not specify the devices, regions or subscription requirements for the reported capabilities. Users should therefore treat the 2027 timeline as a possibility, not a commitment.
