Apple’s rumored AI search tool for Siri could rely on Google

Apple is reportedly working on an AI-powered search feature for its voice assistant, Siri, which could rely on Google's help. The new feature, called "World Knowledge Answers," will allow users to search for information and receive AI-generated summaries based on results from the web, incorporating text, photos, videos, and points of interest. To develop this feature, Apple has reached a "formal agreement" with Google to test a Google-designed AI model for Siri's summaries. Apple plans to use its own AI models to search user data, but is still evaluating Anthropic's Claude and Gemini for Siri's planning function. The AI-upgraded Siri is part of Apple's delayed plans to enhance the voice assistant with new features that will let it tap into personal data and perform actions based on the content on the user's screen. The company is expected to launch the AI-powered Siri alongside iOS 26.4 as early as next March.
