Siri
Siri is Apple’s voice-based virtual assistant, introduced in October 2011 with the iPhone 4S after Apple acquired the startup Siri, Inc. in April 2010. Built into Apple’s operating systems and devices, Siri uses speech recognition, natural language understanding, and Apple’s privacy-focused architecture to answer questions and take actions. Since 2024, Apple has been rolling out an upgraded Siri experience as part of Apple Intelligence, with an optional ChatGPT integration and expanded on‑device processing.
