Though Apple said it wouldn’t, but with iOS 27 and macOS 27, the company is going to release a chatbot Siri with advanced capabilities.
Apple is Going to Introduce a Siri AI Chatbot with iOS 27 and macOS 27, Expect Announcement at WWDC 2026
The new Siri has been a rollercoaster ride in the background. Apple said it will implement AI in a meaningful way rather than do a chatbot, the company is doing a complete 180 and is taking proper chatbot route, like ChatGPT, Gemini, and others.
According to a report by Bloomberg which went live just a few moments ago, Apple is working on a chatbot called Campos. It will be based on the Google Gemini model, thanks to the recent partnership, and will do pretty much what you’d expect from a chatbot.
Things like generating images, getting answers to anything you have in mind to casual conversations, and so on, will be part of the package. All of this will be available with iOS 27 and macOS 27 later this year.
Apple is going to integrate the chatbot at a system level, allowing users to deeply get help from it rather than be confined to a standalone app.
Apparently, the chatbot will be able to tap into a user’s personal data to get stuff done. Sure, you may have privacy concerns at this point, but I’m sure Apple is going to figure this one out and keep everything on-device rather than do processing on the server side, unless it’s needed.
The chatbot will also be able to view your app windows, read on-screen content, make adjustments to settings if needed, and so on. Basically, a full-blown AI experience rather than just a tool that fixes spellings and generates awful images.
At this point, you must be wondering why Apple is doing a chatbot even though it said it wouldn’t. The answer is simple: because chatbots are extremely popular, and that made Apple reconsider its decision.
I’m actually glad that this is happening. The current implementation with ChatGPT is simply not good at all. Requests take a long time to process, and a wrong tap or click completely dismisses the answer generated by ChatGPT. It’s almost like it is designed to be bad.
Hopefully, the new Siri will take center stage and make things right in Apple’s world of AI.
