Apple to transform Siri into AI chatbot embedded across devices

Apple plans to revamp its digital assistant Siri later this year by turning it into an artificial intelligence chatbot, international media reported on Wednesday. The project, codenamed Campos, will be integrated into iPhone, iPad, and Mac operating systems, replacing the current Siri interface, according to people familiar with the plan.

The Siri overhaul is part of Apple’s broader strategy to strengthen its position in artificial intelligence following the initial rollout of “Apple Intelligence” in 2024.

Earlier this month, Apple struck a deal with Google to use its Gemini models to power Siri. Campos will run a higher-end version of the custom Google model, comparable to Gemini 3, and known internally as Apple Foundation Models version 11.

The chatbot will support both voice and typing interactions and is expected to be the primary new feature in Apple’s upcoming operating systems, including iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27. 

Apple reportedly plans to reveal the AI version of Siri at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June, ahead of a full launch expected in September. The update is separate from the AI-powered personalization features scheduled to arrive in Siri over the next few months. 

The chatbot is designed to offer capabilities that Bloomberg described as “significantly surpassing” the personalization features currently in development.

Separately, Apple is working on an AI-powered wearable pin equipped with multiple cameras, a speaker, microphones, and wireless charging, according to a report by the Information. The device could reach the market as early as 2027.
