CUPERTINO 27 March 2026 (The Capital Post) – Apple is planning a major upgrade to its virtual assistant Siri by allowing integration with rival artificial intelligence (AI) services as part of its upcoming iOS 27 update.
The move is expected to enable third-party AI chatbots to work directly with Siri, expanding its capabilities beyond Apple’s existing partnership with ChatGPT. Competing services such as Google’s Gemini and Anthropic’s Claude could be supported under the new system.
According to reports, Apple is developing an “Extensions” feature that will allow users to choose which AI services they want Siri to interact with. These tools are expected to be integrated into the broader Apple Intelligence ecosystem across devices including iPhone, iPad and Mac.

The update is part of Apple’s wider strategy to strengthen its position in the rapidly evolving AI space, where it has faced increasing competition from other technology companies. By opening Siri to multiple AI providers, Apple aims to make its devices more versatile and appealing to users seeking advanced AI functionality.
In addition, the company could generate new revenue streams by taking a share of subscriptions from third-party AI services offered through its platform. The revamped Siri is expected to be unveiled at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference later this year, although plans may still be subject to change.-The Capital Post
