Apple Finally Equipping Siri With The Ability To Handle Multiple Queries At Once, Bringing Grammarly-Like Suggestions To The Keyboard

Now that the first developer beta build for iOS 26.5 has rolled out without any inkling of the AI capabilities that Apple had first promised back in 2024, including the much-delayed in-app actions, personal context awareness, and on-screen awareness features, all eyes are seemingly glued to iOS 27 and the upcoming WWDC 2026 for a comprehensive revamp of Apple's AI strategy.

As such, Apple is apparently working on a chatbot-style Siri, one that would work seamlessly with third-party agents and come equipped with the ability to handle multiple queries simultaneously. What's more, Apple is also apparently testing a Grammarly-like word suggestion feature for its keyboard.

Apple's new Siri that would presumably debut with iOS 27 seems to be increasingly chock-full of AI-related features

We know that Apple is apparently working round the clock to roll out new AI capabilities for its Siri voice assistant with the upcoming iOS 27 update.

What we know so far

Apple's revamped chatbot Siri will run on Google's own TPUs and cloud infrastructure, albeit under Apple's ownership. The iPhone manufacturer insists that the arrangement would not result in a change in Apple's stringent privacy-related safeguards.

According to the previous tidbits by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the Siri chatbot will be baked into Apple's software, allowing it to leverage personal data, perform in-app actions, search the web, generate content, including images, provide coding assistance, summarize and analyze information, as well as upload files.

Apple is also designing a feature that will let the chatbot Siri view already-open windows and on-screen content, along with the ability to adjust device features and settings.

The chatbot Siri will reportedly leverage a much more advanced version of Google's Gemini model, known internally as Apple Foundation Models version 11. According to Gurman, "the model is expected to be competitive with Gemini 3 and significantly more capable" than the one supporting the revamped Siri.

Additionally, Siri will no longer be accessible solely via voice commands. Instead, Apple is debuting a dedicated Siri app with iOS 27, which would serve as a central repository of all past conversations with the AI assistant. The app will include an "Extensions" feature that would seamlessly connect to third-party agents such as OpenAI's ChatGPT or Anthropic's Claude, allowing Siri to tap into the capabilities of these agents. The App Store will also sport a dedicated "Extensions" section from where users will be able to install all supported third-party agents.

Also, while users can still activate Siri via voice commands or the power button, Apple is testing a new interface that resides within the Dynamic Island. Finally, Apple is attempting to replace its "Spotlight" search function with Siri, allowing for a unified search-related UI. The new search interface will continue to show "Siri Suggestions," which would span across apps, upcoming appointments, and changes to settings suggested by AI.

The new Siri to handle multiple queries at once, and Apple's Grammarly-like word suggestion feature

Now, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman is out with another scoop, detailing how the new Siri will be able to handle combo requests. For instance, users can ask Siri to "check the weather, create a calendar appointment, and send a message - all within a single prompt." Currently, Siri can only process one such request at a time.

Also, according to Gurman, Apple is testing an updated keyboard that would function more like Grammarly by offering suggestions for alternative words. This comes as Apple has already materially improved its auto-correct algorithms in the past few months.
