Apple is bringing ChatGPT, OpenAI's AI-powered chatbot experience, to Siri and other first-party apps and features across its operating systems. The tech giant announced the news during a keynote at WWDC 2024 in Cupertino on Monday.
“We are excited to partner with Apple to bring ChatGPT to users in a brand new way,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in a press release“Apple shares our commitment to safety and innovation, and this partnership is consistent with OpenAI’s mission to make advanced AI accessible to all.”
Soon, Siri will have the ability to ask ChatGPT for “expertise” when it could be helpful, Apple says. For example, when you need menu ideas for a meal for friends using ingredients out of your garden, you possibly can ask Siri, and Siri will robotically pass that information on to ChatGPT for a response after you give it permission to achieve this.
You can add photos to the questions you ask ChatGPT through Siri, or ask questions on your documents or PDFs. Apple has also integrated ChatGPT with system-wide tools like Writing Tools, which allow you to create content with ChatGPT—including images—or pitch an initial idea and send it back to ChatGPT for a revision or variation.
ChatGPT integrations can be available on iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia later this 12 months, in accordance with Apple, and can be free without the necessity to create a ChatGPT or OpenAI account. Initially, they can be supported by GPT-4o, OpenAI's recently launched flagship generative AI model.
Subscribers to considered one of OpenAI's ChatGPT premium plans can access paid features in Siri and other Apple apps using ChatGPT integrations. Apple says privacy measures are “inbuilt” to the integrations – specifically, requests usually are not stored by OpenAI and users' IP addresses are obfuscated.
