Siri AI opens to every developer, and Apple says heavy use will cost extra

Apple released a Siri AI developer preview on Tuesday that lets any app bring its content and actions into the assistant through App Intents, chain them into "skills," and surface anything in the Spotlight semantic index. Siri AI reaches customers "in a few months," and App Store submissions open in the spring. It is unavailable in the EU on iOS, iPadOS and watchOS for now. A footnote says server-side Apple Intelligence features have daily limits and that "expanded access to such features will be available for a fee in the future." Apple has not said what it will charge.

The watchOS 27.3 beta adds Live Rewind, a transcript of the last 15 seconds of conversation, and Siri Recap, background summaries deleted after seven days unless saved. Both need a Series 12 or Ultra 4 watch. SourcesAB
