Checking a delivery and placing an order require different permissions. App developers can now preview connecting those actions to Siri AI.
Apple opened a Siri AI Developer Preview to all developers on November 3. It arrives with the iOS 27.3, iPadOS 27.3, macOS 27.3, and visionOS 27.3 betas. Developers can use App Intents to expose their app’s content and custom actions to Siri AI.
App Intents become an action surface
Apple describes integrations that let a person ask Siri to check a delivery, book a reservation, or place an order. Developers define the actions their app supports. New skills can combine several actions into a longer experience.
The announcement also expands what Siri can surface from the Spotlight semantic index. Apple says the system can use any indexed entity, beyond the entities that fit an existing schema. For app teams, the work includes deciding which content should be discoverable and which actions need a clear confirmation step.
A preview has a different release schedule
The November release provides a path for development and testing. Apple says shipping these integrations to customers will take months. It plans to accept App Store submissions in spring and says it will share further terms and usage policies.
That timing affects launch promises. A team can prototype an integration now, but should keep a public release commitment separate from a successful beta demonstration. The announcement does not provide a precise customer shipping date.
Availability also depends on an Apple Intelligence-enabled device and supported language settings. Apple lists regional restrictions, including Siri AI’s current unavailability in the European Union on iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS. Teams should check the platform and region they intend to support rather than assume one global rollout.
Start with an action users can verify
For an initial prototype, a delivery-status lookup offers a simpler acceptance check than an order that changes a customer’s account. A developer could then add a clearly confirmed state-changing action and verify its result in the app. This is a proposed evaluation sequence; MustHave has not tested the preview.
Keep a record of the beta version, device, language, and exposed action. A useful result should show both what Siri requested and what the app actually changed. Our earlier iOS 27 availability report covers a different part of the release timeline.
