The preview adds skills that let developers teach Siri AI to combine several actions into one request and lets Siri AI surface any entity in the Spotlight semantic index, not just those fitting an existing schema. Developers can build and test these Intents and Skills in Xcode or internal TestFlight builds but cannot publish them to the App Store or external TestFlight testers until the OS 27.3 public release, expected in late November or early December.", "body_md": "With the new OS 27.3 betas (iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS), Apple is finally making good on one of those old Apple Intelligence features it first [promised back in 2024](https://www.macworld.com/article/2362804/apple-intelligence-faq-features-release-date-hardware-support.html).\n\nWhen Apple announced Apple Intelligence and all its fancy new features, one of the most important aspects was personal context, its ability to perform actions and access data across all your apps. A massive expansion of “App Intents,” the feature would allow developers to make their apps work with Siri by making some of the content or data accessible and allow users to perform actions in those apps with natural language.\n\nAccording to a [post on Apple’s developer site](https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=gdk2umrf), Siri AI is *finally* going to realize this vision with the 27.3 beta releases:\n\nToday’s preview allows any app to bring its content and actions directly into Siri AI by using App Intents, making it easier for all apps to tap into Siri AI’s newest capabilities, including personal context understanding, onscreen awareness, natural language, and more. So people can just ask for help in their own words, and Siri AI carries out any custom action you’ve built, from checking a delivery to booking a reservation to placing an order. For complex requests, we’re also introducing skills to let you teach Siri AI how to combine several actions into a single experience. And Siri AI can now surface any entity in the Spotlight semantic index, not just the ones that fit an existing schema.\n\nThe new beta previews allow developers to integrate their apps into Siri AI, allowing users to access data and perform actions. Developers can build custom actions for users, and incorporate skills that teach Siri how to combine several actions into a single request\n\nThe blog post calls this a “sneak peek” and a “first look,” so it’s not clear yet when regular users will get this experience. Developers can currently build apps using these Intents and Skills and test them with Xcode or with internal TestFlight versions, but they can’t publish apps that use these features to the App Store or test them with external TestFlight users yet.\n\nIt’s likely that app developers will be able to publish their Siri AI enabled apps with the OS 27.3 updates are released to the general public (we expect in late November or early December), but that depends on developer feedback and testing. Still, this is the first time developers have actually had real access to integrate their apps with the new Siri, and once released and widespread, it can change the way we use our iPhones, iPads, and Macs forever.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/with-ios-27-3-the-siri-ai-floodgates-are-about-to-open", "canonical_source": "https://www.macworld.com/article/3276244/with-ios-27-3-the-siri-ai-floodgates-are-about-to-open.html", "published_at": "2026-11-04 09:45:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-11-04 09:52:34.234944+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-products", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["Apple", "Siri AI", "App Intents", "iOS 27.3", "iPadOS", "macOS", "visionOS", "Xcode"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/with-ios-27-3-the-siri-ai-floodgates-are-about-to-open", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/with-ios-27-3-the-siri-ai-floodgates-are-about-to-open.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/with-ios-27-3-the-siri-ai-floodgates-are-about-to-open.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/with-ios-27-3-the-siri-ai-floodgates-are-about-to-open.jsonld"}}
