Apple is developing a more independent version of Siri that will be able to act in third‑party services, not only within Apple apps. The new CEO John Ternus is pushing software chief Craig Federighi to add autonomous AI capabilities.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the upgraded assistant will let users ask Siri to book a table, order food, or edit and send photos, with the assistant handling the actions through services such as OpenTable and Uber Eats without the user switching apps.
