Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has claimed that Apple is developing a new digital assistant for home robots. This assistant, powered by generative artificial intelligence, is set to replace Siri in Apple’s robotic products.

Months earlier, it was revealed that Apple had abandoned its plans for a new car product, redirecting its focus towards robots instead. Regular updates on this subject had already hinted that the device might be a home robot designed to assist users with their daily tasks. Now, new information has surfaced, with the reliable source Mark Gurman from Bloomberg suggesting that Apple is developing a new AI persona for its robots.

A new “artificial intelligence personality” is coming to replace Siri in robots

According to the information obtained by Mark Gurman from his sources, Apple plans to use a different assistant in its robots, not Siri. He mentioned that Apple is developing an entirely new AI persona for this purpose. This new interface is expected to be implemented in both the desktop robot and future robotic devices.

“An important part of Apple’s robotics efforts involves creating a completely new personality. While Siri is the digital assistant on Apple’s current devices, the company is working on another human-like interface powered by generative AI. According to the information I’ve gathered, this new assistant may be used in the tabletop robot and other Apple robotic devices,” Gurman shared on X (formerly Twitter).

This is all the information available about the new assistant Apple is developing. Given its generative AI support, it’s likely to offer a highly engaging user experience. It will be unusual to see an assistant other than Siri on Apple devices. Additionally, Apple is reportedly planning to introduce its robot in 2026 or 2027. Until then, we can expect to learn much more.
