US tech giant Apple on Monday unveiled Siri AI, a long-awaited redesign of its conversational assistant powered by Apple Intelligence.
The new assistant is available for developer testing immediately and will be released as a beta later this year.
Apple had initially announced the enhanced Siri at its WWDC developer conference in June 2024. In May 2025, the phone maker said that the software had been delayed.
Earlier this year, Apple agreed to a $250 million settlement in a US lawsuit accusing the tech giant of misleading iPhone buyers over delayed artificial intelligence upgrades. Under the settlement, Apple does not admit any wrongdoing.
The improved Siri is intended to be particularly helpful to users because it has access to their personal information and can work across different apps on Apple devices.
Apple said Siri AI has been rebuilt using the next generation of Apple Intelligence, combining on-device processing with Private Cloud Compute to deliver advanced reasoning capabilities while maintaining user privacy.
The company said the new Siri is "a profoundly more capable and conversational assistant with personal context understanding, broad world knowledge, and onscreen awareness."
