"CarPlay users could soon be able to use their chatbot of choice instead of Siri. As reports, Apple is working to add support for CarPlay voice control apps from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and others. Previously, users who wanted to access third-party chatbots in the car would need to go through their iPhone, but soon they may be able to talk with ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini directly in CarPlay."
"However, Apple reportedly "won't let users replace the Siri button on CarPlay or the wake word that summons the service." So, users will need to manually open their preferred chatbot's app. Developers will be able to set their apps to automatically start voice mode whenever they're opened, though, which could help streamline the experience. According to Bloomberg, the addition of third-party chatbots in CarPlay could roll out "within the coming months," but hasn't been officially announced yet."
Apple is adding support for CarPlay voice control apps from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and other developers. Users will be able to interact directly with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and similar chatbots within CarPlay rather than routing requests through an iPhone. Apple will not allow replacement of the Siri button on CarPlay or the Siri wake word, so users must manually open a preferred chatbot app. Developers can configure their apps to automatically start voice mode upon opening to streamline interactions. The feature is expected to roll out within the coming months and coincides with Google Gemini powering an updated Siri slated for this year.
