Apple Is Opening Siri to Other AI Assistants — What This Means for Skill Creators
Apple is opening Siri to rival AI assistants beyond ChatGPT in iOS 27. Here's what this means for AI skill creators and why building for multiple platforms is more important than ever.
Big news from Apple this week: starting with iOS 27, Siri will no longer be limited to just one AI partner. Right now, Siri only connects to OpenAI's ChatGPT. But Apple is planning to open the door so other AI assistants — like Google Gemini, Claude, and others — can plug right into your iPhone and iPad.
This is a huge deal. Here's why.
More AI Platforms = More Opportunities
When Apple only worked with ChatGPT, skill creators mostly focused on building for OpenAI. But once Siri opens up to multiple AI services, there will be demand for skills across many different platforms. That means if you build skills for Claude, Gemini, or other AI tools, your work could soon reach millions of iPhone users.
Think of it like this: imagine a mall that only let one store sell shoes. Now they're letting every shoe store in. More stores means more choices for shoppers — and more chances for sellers to make money.
What Does This Mean for You?
If you create AI skills, prompts, or workflows, this is great news. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
Build for more than one platform. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Skills that work across ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini will have the biggest audience once Apple opens things up.
Mobile-friendly skills will matter more. When AI assistants are built into phones, people will use them on the go. Think about skills that help with quick tasks — writing texts, summarizing emails, planning meals, or answering questions fast.
Get ready early. Apple hasn't released iOS 27 yet, but smart creators are already building skills for multiple platforms. When the update drops, they'll be ready to reach a whole new audience.
The Bigger Picture
This move by Apple tells us something important: the future of AI is not about one company winning. It's about all of them working together on the devices we already use. And that means the market for AI skills is only going to get bigger.
The AI skills marketplace is expected to grow to over $7 billion by 2030. Every time a big company like Apple makes AI more accessible, that number grows even faster.
