Apple announced a Siri AI developer preview on November 3, 2026, that lets developers connect app content and custom actions to Siri through App Intents. Apple says developers can create actions for natural-language requests, build skills that combine several actions, and let Siri AI surface more information from Spotlight’s semantic index. The preview is in beta; Apple forecast that customer experiences would begin shipping in a few months. (Apple Developer News)

For context on Siri AI’s broader beta, see NeoTeo’s earlier coverage. This follow-up covers Apple’s separate preview for developers building app integrations.

The practical change is that developers can expose app actions to Siri AI, including actions that work together as a skill.

What App Intents adds to Siri AI

App Intents already supported Siri integrations. Apple’s announcement expands how developers can connect app content and actions to Siri AI, including custom actions that respond to natural-language requests. Apple’s examples include checking a delivery, booking a reservation, and placing an order.

A skill can combine several actions into one experience. Apple also says Siri AI can surface any entity in Spotlight’s semantic index, including entities that do not fit an existing schema. In practical terms, the preview gives developers ways to connect more of an app’s content and actions to Siri AI, rather than introducing the App Intents framework itself.

The four beta platforms in the developer preview

Apple names the iOS 27.3, iPadOS 27.3, macOS 27.3, and visionOS 27.3 betas as the initial platforms for the developer preview. watchOS 27.3 appears in Apple’s separate list of Siri AI beta platforms, not in the developer-preview list.

Apple’s own apps show related capabilities

Apple says related capabilities were beginning to roll out across 15 of its apps: Calendar, Files, Finder, Journal, Mail, Maps, Messages, Music, Notes, Photos, Preview, Reminders, Safari, Shortcuts, and Weather. Its examples include finding a coffee shop visited the previous week and archiving files that had not been opened in over a year. Those examples describe Apple’s own apps; the developer preview concerns integrations built by other developers.

Language, age, region, and usage limits

Apple requires an Apple Intelligence-enabled device set to one of its supported languages: English, French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, or Spanish. Some features may vary by region or language, and Siri AI is unavailable to users under 13.

Apple says Siri AI is currently unavailable in the European Union on iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS. Its stated EU restriction applies to those operating systems.

Certain Apple Intelligence features that rely on server-side models, including Siri AI, are subject to daily usage limits. Apple says the limits may vary with the feature, request complexity, system demand, system policies, and other factors. Expanded access will be available for a fee in the future, and Apple said it would provide more details later about terms and usage policies for Siri AI-enabled experiences.

Apple’s expected timing

Apple forecast that the first customer experiences would ship in a few months and said App Store submissions would open in the spring. These are future milestones from Apple’s November 3 announcement, not completed releases.
