Apple's App Intents lets Siri AI control third-party apps with Agent Skills support
op7418 · x · 2026-11-04
Apple's new App Intents update opens Siri AI to all developers starting with the 27.3 beta, letting apps expose specific functions — modify a ride, surface saved products, even cross-app actions like sending a saved item from a shopping app to a chat. Siri supports a subset of the Agent Skills format: it matches skill names/descriptions first, then reads guidance on what it can and cannot do. The author notes this poses a dilemma for super-apps, which previously blocked Doubao from automating them in China.
