Comment on Apple adds insights for developers ahead of Siri’s AI upgrade

Apple’s push into AI continues as the iPhone maker prepares developers for new tools like Siri screen awareness features. These features will be part of Apple Intelligence, and the hope is that they will significantly boost the digital assistant’s contextual understanding capabilities. The company’s new developer tools are starting to be added to Apple Developer, including new ‘App Intent APIs’ that will allow apps’ onscreen content to be accessible to Siri and Apple Intelligence. Apple showcased onscreen intelligence in June 2024, which is a good hint that it’s still in development. In the explanation of the feature, Apple writes: “When a user asks a question about onscreen content or wants to perform an action on it, Siri and Apple Intelligence can retrieve the content to respond to the question and perform the action. “If the user explicitly requests it, Siri and Apple Intelligence can send content to supported third-party services.
