Apple tests ‘Veritas’ — internal Siri app similar to ChatGPT (reported)

Summary (translated from German): Bloomberg reports Apple is working on a major overhaul of its voice assistant, Siri, using an internal test app for iPhone. The project — codenamed Veritas — is said to behave like chatbot systems (e.g., ChatGPT) and is currently used for internal testing by employees. Apple has not officially announced the project.

Key points

• Codename: Veritas
• Form: Internal iPhone app used for testing
• Goal: Rebuild Siri into a more conversational, generative AI assistant
• Source: Reported by Bloomberg (secondary coverage summarized); no official confirmation from Apple

Context & implications

If true, Veritas would mark a major push by Apple to bring state-of-the-art conversational AI to Siri, responding to the growing prominence of large language models and assistant-style chatbots. Apple reportedly explores multiple internal projects in parallel; details about models, data handling, or release timing remain unclear.

What to expect

• Better multi-turn conversations and context retention
• Richer, generative responses (summaries, drafts, explanations)
• Stronger privacy and on-device processing depending on Apple’s approach
