    Apple opens Siri AI app skills to developers, enabling multi-step cross-app actions

    Apple announced that it is opening Siri AI integration to third-party developers: any app can create app skills and let Siri coordinate complex multi-step operations. These capabilities will ship with iOS 27.3, macOS 27.3, and other versions, and are currently in developer testing. In the original example, Siri can find a saved pair of sneakers in one app, confirm the contact in Contacts, and then send it via a specified messaging app; when a ride-hailing Live Activity is active, users can change the trip address without saying the app's name.

    Google adjusts AI settings for school accounts: disabling AI features will also disable Search

    Google has introduced new AI settings for schools: Gemini, Gemini Notebook, Gemini in Classroom, and Google Search are off by default for K-12 student accounts and must be explicitly enabled by school administrators. Google says Search and AI are now deeply integrated, so in schools that disable AI features, students will be unable to use Search; in early 2027, two options will be offered—one enabling AI features such as AI Overviews, and the other replacing them with Guided Learning—leaving schools with only a choice between accepting AI features and giving up Search.

    Netflix is testing an AI Discover recommendation tab in a small-scale trial in the US

    Netflix has rolled out a clickable AI Discover tab at the top of its TV app; it is currently being tested with only a small subset of users in the US, and the company plans to open it to more people in the coming weeks. The initial version organizes recommendations by mood—for example, selecting "Scare Me" displays related film and TV content. Users can also choose, on a specific title, to keep getting recommendations for similar content or to stop recommending it, and indicate whether they have already seen it or are not interested, thereby further training the recommendation model. The feature was previously mentioned by executives on Netflix's Q1 earnings call.
