Apple Partners With OpenAI to Integrate ChatGPT Into Siri and System Apps
Apple announces a new partnership with OpenAI to bring ChatGPT directly into Siri and system-wide writing tools across its latest operating systems. The integration requires no account and prioritizes user privacy by hiding IP addresses and preventing data storage.
Apple teams up with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT into Siri and its first-party applications across iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia. This partnership allows Siri to rely on ChatGPT's expertise for complex queries, such as generating meal ideas based on specific ingredients or analyzing photos and documents.
The AI integration extends beyond Siri into Apple's system-wide Writing Tools, enabling users to generate text and images directly within their apps. Users access these features for free without needing to create an OpenAI account, while those with paid ChatGPT subscriptions simply log in to unlock premium capabilities.
Apple emphasizes that strong privacy protections are built into this feature, ensuring that OpenAI does not store user requests and actively obscures IP addresses. The upcoming integration initially runs on OpenAI's flagship GPT-4o model and officially launches later this year across Apple's newest operating systems.
