Archive entry: this covers an event from November 3, 2026, and we published it on November 8, 2026. The details come from sources dated at the time and may have changed since.

On November 3, 2026, Apple released a Siri AI Developer Preview with the 27.3 operating system betas and opened it to any developer, as announced in an Apple Developer news post. Integration used App Intents, which gave Siri personal context, onscreen awareness and natural-language understanding.

What the preview included

• The preview shipped with the iOS, iPadOS, macOS and visionOS 27.3 betas, and watchOS 27.3 was also listed.
• Skills in the preview could combine multiple actions.
• Any entity in an app's Spotlight semantic index could surface in Siri.
• Supported languages were English, French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish, with Traditional Chinese, Norwegian, Turkish and Vietnamese listed as coming.
• Apple's own apps integrated it, including Calendar, Files, Mail, Maps, Notes, Photos, Safari and Shortcuts.

What it meant for people building with AI

Third-party apps could plug into Apple's LLM-based Siri through App Intents. Apple also signaled paid tiers for its server-side AI: it said that server-side features such as Siri AI, Image Playground and AFM 3 Cloud in Shortcuts have daily limits, and that it planned paid expanded access.

Availability and limits

Apple said Siri AI would ship to customers in a few months and that App Store submissions would open in spring. It was not available in the EU on iOS, iPadOS or watchOS, not available to users under 13, and required an Apple Intelligence-capable device. Documentation was available at developer.apple.com/documentation/appintents/siri-ai-developer-preview.
