Siri has been announced by Apple, bringing a bunch of upgrades Siri thanks to the use of advanced artificial intelligence technologies. This improvement came as part of cooperation between Apple and Google, as a result of which the use of some Gemini technology became possible for Siri. It was at WWDC 2026 when the news of Siri’s new update and Apple’s plans regarding the future development of Siri were announced.
It is known to everyone that upgrades Siri lagged far behind similar solutions offered by other companies for a long time. The arrival of much better competitors like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini left Siri behind significantly, but Apple attempted to change the situation at WWDC 2026, announcing an updated version of Siri based on Apple Intelligence.
It can be considered as one of the biggest updates to Siri ever made after its initial release.
The first and biggest upgrade comes with the ability of Siri to make use of Gemini technology in certain cases. In order to do this, Apple uses a combination of on device AI and cloud AI provided by Gemini.
Thanks to this collaboration, users of Siri can now perform much more advanced tasks with the assistant. For example, upgrades Siri can now answer complex questions, create detailed explanations, generate new content, summarize information, as well as perform multi step operations all in one go.
As opposed to previous versions of Siri, which were limited to simple voice interactions, Siri now has the ability to process the context, engage in continuous conversation, and perform complex tasks.
Apple will ensure that there will always be an opportunity for users to choose whether they want to utilize external AI capabilities when interacting with Siri.
The latest version of upgrades Siri also gains the ability to understand the context better. This means that Siri is able to analyze information from all the apps, emails, messages, calendar entries, documents, and conversations on your device.
Should a user request any information regarding these, Siri will be able to comprehend it without any additional prompts. One of the central ideas behind Apple’s Apple Intelligence technology is to understand connections between pieces of information users save on their devices.
Aside from all of that, Apple also demonstrated how upgrades Siri is integrated with a wide variety of apps. The ability to execute complex actions by interacting with Siri in natural language allows users to perform numerous tasks at once.
Editing photos, organizing files, sending messages to someone, creating notes, and managing calendar events are just a few examples of things you can do using upgrades Siri .
It no longer requires users to name specific applications and particular functions available within them. Such a high level of integration turns Siri into a powerful productivity and device management solution.
As a result of growing expectations in the field of generative artificial intelligence technology, Apple had to implement AI capabilities to meet customer demands and stay competitive.
Besides that, with the fast development of artificial intelligence systems of Apple’s competitors over the past two years, Apple was also forced to make some major steps. Integration of Apple Intelligence’s capabilities with those powered by Gemini creates a truly innovative solution while maintaining its privacy principles.
Though the exact schedule wasn’t revealed, Apple announced that the upgrades Siri experience will be implemented in updates to the Apple Intelligence platform starting with WWDC 2026. Apple developers will also get new APIs to create AI experiences in apps.
The partnership between Apple and Google shows a very interesting trend in the industry – more companies are willing to collaborate in order to advance AI technologies. Traditionally, companies compete against each other with their technologies, but in the era of AI, this is changing.
The example of using Gemini technology in yet another ecosystem proves this tendency as it allows understanding the versatility of such large scale AI models and the simplicity of utilizing them on various platforms.
It can be concluded that such collaborations may speed up the use of AI assistants as well as boost competition between different AI providers.
From the point of view of TheTweaks team, it is definitely one of the most important announcements in terms of AI this year.
In the last year, our blog has discussed some significant news like Gemini 3.5, Gemini Omni, the inclusion of Claude foundation models, Agentic AI, and expanding the Microsoft AI ecosystem.
Now, it is quite evident that digital assistants have been shifting towards becoming intelligent AI companions that are able to perform specific actions and comprehend contexts. In the opinion of TheTweaks’ experts, it was inevitable for Apple to use the technology of Gemini taking into account competition from other firms in the industry.
In addition, this update proves that collaboration may turn out to be a key to progress in the realm of AI. Under the condition that the intelligence of Apple will continue to develop, upgrades Siri may become one of the most used AI assistants in the world.
