Apple Develops Autonomous Siri to Execute Complex Tasks

Apple Inc. is developing a more autonomous version of Siri designed to transition from a reactive voice assistant to an agentic AI. The new system aims to move beyond responding to individual instructions to understanding broad objectives, such as organizing a weekend trip, and independently coordinating the necessary steps like checking calendars and searching for restaurants.

Near-term updates will focus on providing deeper control over native Apple applications for tasks including organizing Safari tabs and editing photos. The company's longer-term goals involve integrating these capabilities with third-party applications. This development is part of a broader effort to close the gap with competing AI companies.

Apple has not yet launched these fully autonomous capabilities or confirmed a specific release date.
