Bloomberg reported on November 8, 2026, that Apple’s new CEO is pressing software chief Craig Federighi to pursue a more ambitious AI strategy, with the reported goal of turning Siri into an autonomous agent. In Mark Gurman’s description, that means Siri could track a goal, work out what needs to happen next and keep going without the user starting every step.
What an agent-like Siri would do
The proposed shift is from responding to individual prompts to pursuing an objective across successive actions. Gurman cited Dots, Muse and Grok as examples of systems that can track goals and continue toward them without a fresh instruction for each step. Apple reportedly wants Siri to move in that direction.
That would go beyond answering a question with personal context or carrying out an app action: Siri would need to keep a user’s goal in view as it proceeds. Reactions in one Reddit discussion reflect both interest in automation and concerns about Siri’s reliability or whether people want to hand off tasks. Those are individual views, not a measure of broader demand.
The practical dividing line is whether Siri can carry a goal from one step to the next without another prompt.
What Siri has demonstrated in beta
Earlier beta demonstrations offer concrete examples of app-connected interactions. In a Spanish-language macOS 27 beta 27.2 walkthrough, iSenaCode demonstrates Siri in Spotlight, conversational follow-ups, personal-context searches across messages, calendar events, email, notes and photos, screen reading, and custom Shortcuts.
Victor Abarca’s Spanish-language video, published June 23, 2026, describes a week using Siri AI on iOS 27 in New York, including app coordination and photo management.
These examples show beta interactions on Mac and iPhone; the reported agent ambition is the further step of continuing toward a goal between prompts. NeoTeo previously covered Siri AI’s beta capabilities, providing background on the app-connected behavior.
Reported stages for app support
AppleInsider reported that developers had found Siri task handling in Apple’s own apps in the iOS 27.3 developer beta. It relayed Gurman’s forecast that broader support for Apple apps could reach a public version in December. For third-party apps, the reported possibility is a preview in spring 2027, perhaps in iOS 27.5 or iOS 27.6.
