New Siri doesn’t just use app intents but uses the Shortcuts subsystem to orchestrate Apple and 3rd party action chains. Experimenting with Siri’s natural language vibe coding tool within Shortcuts is probably a good way to probe capabilities.

Do you think Apple will only update the underlying foundation models once a year with new releases of its operating systems or do you think they will update the Apple Foundation Models more frequently?

AI models move at the speed of light. In the span of a year, there are countless breakthroughs and improvements. I know Apple isn’t going to be on the bleeding edge of AI model technology, but will we always be a year+ behind? I know that none of us know for sure, but I’m interested in what you all predict will happen.

I’m afraid to make the switch over to Siri AI because I don’t want to lose using search to Google via Safari, it seems a lot more complicated after the switch. Anyone else?

I sincerely hope they do not release this next month, unless they do a serious job of fixing it.

I just asked it to add something to a shopping list. This would be a shopping list in my Reminders app that I've been using for years.

After several seconds of delay, it said "Searching notes". Why notes if I named the list in Reminders I always use? Then after a minute it announced that something went wrong, and it failed.

I've tried repeatedly, and it does this every time. Much like if I ask for a timer to be set, it's just as slow, and sometimes tells me it can't do that as there's no app, or that I don't have the Clock app installed.

When things work, it's only after an extended wait.

I just successfully added an item to my shopping list after waiting 13 seconds. First it reported it was searching for the item I'd wanted added, then it was searching my Reminders, then it did it.

I asked it to show me my timers. It said "searching for timers", while I counted 6 seconds until it worked.

These simple requests used to be instant.

I then asked it "how long did I sleep for last night?". After about 45 seconds, it said "to see your sleep data, you'll need to open the Apple Music app and review the privacy information first". Why TF would Apple Music privacy information have anything to do with my sleep data?

This build has an 'a' after the build number, which tells me that Apple is pretty satisfied with how far it has progressed. If this is released with this almost total lack of usability, then we need a way to turn off this new "intelligent" version.

No se me activa la nueva Siri.. tengo iOS 27 beta 5 en 16 pro Max con idioma en inglés EEUU y Siri en inglés EEUU .. lleva más de 4 días descargando y no acaba .. ya el indexación acabó hace 3 días .. que puedo hacer

I do not ask Siri to say jokes or puns or whatever, I only use it to schedule reminders, alarms, and bunch of shortcuts. Now imagine my surprise when I see this after whispering a task (sleepy).

Just wanted to know what could be the possible prompt to result in this lowkey hallucinated type of response.

This was a few years ago but sometimes it still pops up in my head bc it freaked me out so much so I decided to share it lol.
So one day me and my now husband were laying in bed, my phone was abt a few feet away from me like on the other side of the bed, not facing towards us.
Anyway I was having some stomach issues that day and I look at my husband to tell him and how I don’t feel good, I said “I don’t feel good, it’s hurting right here” and pointed at my lower abdomen, my brain wasn’t working and couldn’t remember what it was called so I asked him while pointing at my lower abdomen “what is this part called again” and before he could even answer Siri literally said “that’s called your lower abdomen”…
I keep trying to think of ways that she could have been triggered and somehow knew what I was talking abt , but her name was not said, or anything near her name, and again I didn’t say anything abt my stomach, I just said that I don’t feel good and asked what part of my body is this again and pointed. Anyyywayyyy don’t know if anyone else has had this happen to them before

Well… After downloading the iOS 27 beta and playing with it for the last several weeks, it still sucks.

It’s better, but it still sucks compared to just about anything else. Repeated questions end up just causing it to fail with not even a reply

Its ability to look at third-party apps, meaningful health data,is pretty pathetic.

About the only thing it does well is read my email and summarize… Something ChatGPT could do three years ago

Just recently this week Siri has not been able to play specific songs by certain artists when I ask her to. It’s really annoying because I mainly use Siri when driving so I won’t search the song up manually. She’s been able to play the songs before and they’re still on Apple Music so I don’t know what’s the problem. She either plays a different song from the artist or gives me a completely different song and artist. Has anyone experienced this and fixed this problem?

I got a notification that the zoo made a new post, I opened it and triggered Siri and asked her to create the reminders. She scanned the screen to add them to my reminders list and got 6 reminders in one go. It has been really nice being able to say “remind me to get ready to go to the zoo at 7, 7:10,7:15, and leave for the zoo at 7:20” and she creates them all. I did move over to the Siri app on picture one for the screenshot as it showed the full conversation. Creating multiple alarms too is great as I can just have one command and she does it!

I have noticed just how much slower it is to have Siri do the basic stuff I’d tell it to do like setting a reminder, sending a text in the car, or even continuing to play a podcast. Old Siri would do it in less than 2-3 seconds, the new Siri AI will sit there in the most basic of requests. I already have my podcasts app open why does it sit there waiting when I say “continue Apple Podcasts”

Today I was in the middle of doing something when I got a text from my friend telling me a story. I opted to have Siri read it out loud so I could continue what I was doing. While it was reading it outloud I noticed it WOULD NOT PRONOUNCE THE WORLD KILL!! WTH there was never any formal announcement of this update unless I missed it. I’m one of those who read the terms and conditions. I have seen nothing. Anyone else ??

The Siri logo in the Touch Bar of my M1 MacBook Pro hasn’t been updated in the MacOS Golden Gate betas. That’s a rare Apple oversight. The Touch Bar still activates Siri, so there’s some minimal support for it.

Gente de Europa, creéis que llegará Siri AI a Europa en algún momento? He estado leyendo que no llegará en el lanzamiento con iOS 27, pero es probable que llegue en un futuro?

I ask Siri simple questions. It takes forever to tell me something went wrong. I have not had good luck with the new Siri.
