苹果宣布进一步扩展Siri AI能力边界。随着iOS 27.3开发者预览版发布,公司正式向第三方开发者开放Siri AI集成接口,允许各类应用接入新一代智能助手能力,使其能够理解自然语言指令、结合用户个人上下文,并利用屏幕内容感知功能执行更加复杂的任务。
根据苹果公布的信息,开发者如今可以将Siri AI的新功能引入自家应用。通过这些能力,Siri不仅能够理解用户的日常表达方式,还能够结合当前界面状态和个人使用习惯完成请求,从而减少用户在多个应用之间来回切换和手动操作的步骤。
此次更新的一大重点是推出名为“App Skills”的全新功能框架。借助这一机制,开发者可以将多个原本需要分别完成的操作整合为一次指令执行。用户只需发出一句自然语言命令,Siri AI便可自动协调多个步骤,在后台完成整个流程。
苹果表示,当用户正在使用某款应用、查看该应用的实时活动信息,或已经围绕该应用与Siri展开对话时,无需重复提及应用名称。系统能够自动理解当前上下文。例如,用户在网约车应用中完成叫车后,可以直接对Siri说“把我的上车地点改到新的地址”,系统即可识别相关服务并执行操作。
除单个应用内的操作外,Siri AI还获得了跨应用协同能力。它能够在一个应用中搜索内容,再将结果传递至另一个应用完成后续任务。例如,用户可以要求Siri找到购物应用中的收藏商品,并直接通过消息应用发送给指定联系人。
苹果同时向开发者开放了更灵活的内容和操作接口。开发者可以决定哪些数据允许被Siri访问,以及哪些功能能够被调用。相关能力基于App Intents框架实现,无需额外申请特殊权限或加入新的开发者计划即可使用。
为了提升AI对应用内容的理解能力,开发者还可以将应用中的实体数据纳入Spotlight语义索引,并通过描述、属性和意图定义帮助Siri更准确地理解用户表达。当用户使用自然语言提出请求时,系统能够结合这些信息识别目标内容并生成更精准的响应。
与此同时,苹果也正在将这些增强能力推广至自家生态应用之中,包括日历、文件、访达、日志、邮件、地图、信息、音乐、备忘录、照片、预览、提醒事项、Safari、快捷指令以及天气等应用。未来用户可以直接要求Siri查找上周去过的咖啡馆,或者自动整理长时间未打开的文件,而无需手动进行搜索和管理。
值得关注的是,这意味着Siri AI正逐渐从传统语音助手转向真正意义上的智能代理。除了理解问题和提供答案外,它开始具备在应用之间协调资源、调用功能并完成实际任务的能力。
目前,这些新特性已通过iOS 27.3开发者预览版向开发者开放测试。苹果预计将在未来进一步扩大支持范围,并持续完善第三方应用与Siri AI之间的深度整合能力,为用户带来更加统一和智能的软件体验。

Apple announced further expansion of the Siri AI capability boundary. With the iOS 27.3 developer preview version publish, the company formally opened the Siri AI integration interface to third-party developers, allowing applications to access a new generation of smart assistant capabilities, enabling them to understand natural language instructions, combine user individuals with context, and use screen content perception to perform more complex tasks.
According to the information published by Apple, developers can now introduce the new functionality of Siri AI into their own applications. Through these capabilities, Siri is not only able to understand the day-to-day expression of the user, but is also able to combine the current state of the interface with personal usage of custom to complete the request, thereby reducing the number of steps that users take to switch and manually operate between multiple applications.
A major focus of this update was the launch of a new functional framework called App Skills. Through this mechanism, developers can consolidate multiple operations that would have to be completed separately into one directive. With only one natural language command from the user, Siri AI automatically coordinates multiple steps and completes the process backstage.
Apple indicates that there is no need to repeat the name of the application when the user is using the application, viewing the real-time activity information of the application or has already engaged in a dialogue with Siri around the application. The system automatically understands the current context. For example, once the caller is completed in the Internet Protocol application, the user can directly say to Siri, “Replace my place of embarkation to a new address”, and the system can identify the services and operate them.
In addition to operations in individual applications, Siri AI has acquired cross-application synergetic capabilities. It can search for content in one application and transmit the results to another to perform follow-up tasks. For example, users can request Siri to find the collections in the shopping application and send them directly to the designated contact through the message application.
Apples open more flexible content and operational interfaces to developers at the same time. Developers can decide which data are allowed to be accessed by Siri and which functions can be called. The relevant capabilities are based on the App Intents Framework and are not required to apply for a special permission or to join a new developer scheme.
In order to enhance AI ' s understanding of the application content, developers can also incorporate the applied physical data into the Spotlight semantic index and help Siri understand user expression more accurately through descriptions, attributes and definition of intent. When a user requests in a natural language, the system is able to combine this information to identify the target content and generate a more accurate response.
At the same time, apples are extending these enhancements to their own eco-applications, including calendars, documents, visitations, logs, mail, maps, information, music, memos, photographs, previews, alerts, Safaris, fast commands and weather. Future users can directly request Siri to search the café that they visited last week, or automatically sort out long unopened documents without having to search and manage manually.
Of concern, this means that Siri AI is gradually moving from traditional voice assistants to real smart agents. In addition to understanding questions and providing answers, it is beginning to have the capacity to coordinate resources between applications, to mobilize functionality and to accomplish actual tasks.
Currently, these new features have been made available to developers through the iOS 27.3 development preview. Apple is expected to further expand its support in the future and continue to refine its capacity for in-depth integration between third-party applications and Siri AI to provide users with a more unified and intelligent software experience.
