## Key takeaways

- Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported on November 8 that Apple wants Siri to work more like an agent, possibly as early as 2027.
- He says CEO John Ternus told Craig Federighi to speed up the Siri roadmap.
- The report rests on one unnamed source and Apple has not commented.

Apple wants a Siri agent: an assistant that acts more like an agent than a voice command line, and it could ship that as early as 2027, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. [MacRumors summarized the report](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/11/08/siri-ai-rumored-to-become-more-agentic/) on November 8. It comes from Gurman's Power On newsletter and rests on a single unnamed source. Apple has not commented.

Gurman describes an agent that tracks a goal, decides its next steps and keeps working without the user directing each one. He points to OpenAI's Dots, Meta's Muse and Grok as the products Apple is measured against. Siri today answers requests and runs actions when asked. It does not run on its own toward a goal.

He also reports that Apple CEO John Ternus told software chief Craig Federighi in a recent closed-door meeting that the company needs to speed up its software roadmap and do more than make necessary improvements to Siri. Gurman says Apple ultimately wants to go in this direction, but his source gave no firm plan.

MacRumors notes that Siri AI is much more intelligent and personalized than classic Siri, but still far from the proactive, always-on agents that OpenAI and Meta have started to ship. That gap is the pressure point in Gurman's account. Keep in mind that this is Gurman's reading of private conversations, not an Apple announcement.

For Siri users, none of this is a release date. The 2027 timing is Gurman's belief, and what an agentic Siri would do, which apps it could touch and what it would cost are all unknown. We compared the current assistant with its rivals in [Siri AI vs ChatGPT](https://claudegpt.si/news/siri-ai-vs-chatgpt). Watch for Apple's next software event for anything official.
