"The new feature, reportedly called "World Knowledge Answers" internally, will allow users to search for information and receive AI-generated summaries based on results from the web. Its interface will also incorporate text, photos, videos, and points of interest, allowing it to challenge the AI-powered search features from companies like OpenAI and Perplexity. Putting AI search into Siri is part of Apple's delayed plans to upgrade the voice assistant with new features"
"The new Siri will reportedly work by leveraging a planner, which helps interpret voice or text prompts, a search system to scan user data or the internet, and a summarizer to package all of this information for users. This week, Apple and Google reached a "formal agreement" for Apple to test a Google-designed AI model for Siri's summaries, according to Bloomberg. Apple reportedly plans to use its own AI models to search user data, but it's still evaluating Anthropic's Claude and Gemini"
Apple is developing an AI-powered search feature for Siri called "World Knowledge Answers" that will generate web-based summaries and present text, photos, videos, and points of interest. The system will combine a planner to interpret voice or text prompts, a search component to scan personal data and the internet, and a summarizer to synthesize results. Apple plans to run some models on its servers and use its own models to search user data while testing a Google-designed model for summaries. Apple is also evaluating Anthropic's Claude and Google's Gemini for planning. The feature could arrive with iOS 26.4 next March.
