In a radical shift from its historical policy, Apple is moving to end the monopoly of its voice assistant, Siri, on its smart devices. The company is preparing to open the iOS ecosystem to developers for the deep and direct integration of external AI models.
This strategic pivot aims to close the technological gap with competitors, especially following the underwhelming previous integration of ChatGPT. The new approach seeks to provide users with more accurate responses, faster data processing, and improved daily interactions across various apps.
Tech sources indicate that Apple will release software tools allowing users to set any third-party smart assistant as the default and primary option on iPhones, marking the end of the highly closed ecosystem era for which the company is known.
