"Apple is quietly preparing one of the most significant upgrades to its software ecosystem in years: a new artificial-intelligence-powered web search tool designed to supercharge Siri and reshape the way users interact with information. According to Bloomberg reports, the project-codenamed World Knowledge Answers-is slated for a potential 2026 rollout. More than just a technological step forward, this move signals Apple's intent to carve out a distinct position in the rapidly shifting AI landscape, one currently dominated by OpenAI, Google, and emerging players like Perplexity."
"Rather than building a foundational large language model from scratch-a costly and resource-intensive undertaking-Apple is designing a proprietary interface that organizes, summarizes, and contextualizes information in ways only Apple can deliver. This means Siri may finally evolve into the intelligent, proactive assistant users have expected for over a decade, capable of pulling real-time data, synthesizing it, and delivering natural, conversational responses."
World Knowledge Answers, a project with a potential 2026 rollout, aims to add AI-powered web search capabilities that integrate with Siri. Apple will focus on a proprietary user experience that organizes, summarizes, and contextualizes information rather than building a foundational large language model from scratch. Siri may evolve into an intelligent, proactive assistant able to pull real-time data, synthesize information, and deliver conversational responses. Use cases include travel itinerary planning, health data management, and AI summaries when browsing Safari. The system will be tailored to the Apple ecosystem with an emphasis on privacy, usability, and selective partnerships for infrastructure scale.
