Developers Want Siri APIs That Turn Apple Intelligence Into Infrastructure
Paul Hudson, creator of Hacking with Swift, argues that Apple’s AI opportunity for developers depends less on a smarter prompt box than on APIs that let Siri serve as an integration layer across apps. Speaking to Bloomberg’s Ed Ludlow, Hudson said developers want to expose app data and functions while Apple Intelligence handles user intent, privacy and cross-device execution—ideally through Apple-controlled infrastructure even if Google’s Gemini is part of the stack.
Apple’s Siri Overhaul Tests Whether AI Can Become an Operating-System Layer
Bloomberg’s WWDC preview frames Apple’s AI challenge as a test of integration rather than invention. Mark Gurman reports that Apple is expected to use the conference to make Siri more capable across apps, screens, personal data and web search, moving it from a weak voice assistant toward an operating-system layer; Carolina Milanesi and Paul Hudson argue that its value will depend on whether that layer is consistent, private and useful across Apple devices.
