According to Bloomberg\u2019s<\/em> Mark Gurman Apple is testing Siri\u2019s upcoming revamp using an internal chatbot called Veritas<\/a>. The company\u2019s struggles<\/a> as it tries to keep pace in the AI race are no secret. The next-gen Siri has been delayed<\/a> multiple<\/a> times and the debut of Apple Intelligence was met with a tepid response<\/a>. Veritas gives Apple the ability to quickly develop, test, and collect feedback on new Siri features like \u201csearch[ing] through personal data\u2026 and perform[ing] in-app actions like editing photos.\u201c<\/p>\n<\/div>\n According to Gurman Veritas resembles other chatbot apps like ChatGPT and Gemini. Employees type requests, have back and forth conversations, and can even revisit old exchanges to dig deeper on a particular topic. But, at least for now, it doesn\u2019t appear like there\u2019s any plan to release it to consumers. (Which Gurman believes is a mistake<\/a>.) Instead Apple plans to keep its internal chatbot just that, internal. Instead it\u2019s looking increasingly likely that Apple is going to rely on Google\u2019s Gemini<\/a> for its AI-powered search.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
