Siri AI is a virtual assistant designed for Apple Intelligence systems running across iOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, macOS 27, and visionOS 27. It uses voice and gesture control alongside a natural language interface to delegate requests to internet services and adapt to individual preferences over time.
