Gurman: Apple may make Siri more like an intelligent agent as early as next year

Phoenix Technology reported on November 9, Beijing time, citing MacRumors, that compared to the traditional version of Siri, Apple's revamped Siri AI has significantly improved in terms of intelligence and personalization capabilities, but it still falls short of proactive, always-on agents like OpenAI's Dots and Meta's Muse. Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman stated on Sunday that he learned Apple may enable Siri's features to resemble an intelligent agent as early as next year.

Gurman mentioned that Dots, Muse, and Grok can continuously track targets, determine what to do next, and continue to advance established tasks without users needing to issue commands one by one. He stated that he was informed Apple ultimately hopes to develop in this direction and believes that Apple may enable Siri to become more like an intelligent agent as early as next year. Gurman also noted that in a closed-door meeting in recent weeks, Apple CEO John Ternus told software engineering chief Craig Federighi that Apple needs to accelerate the pace of its software roadmap and quickly move beyond merely making necessary improvements to Siri.
