At WWDC on Monday, Apple unveiled the new AI-ified version of Siri — in what has been called the assistant s biggest and most dramatic transformation in the company s history.
In addition to the launch of its new Siri AI system, the personal assistant now has its own standalone app. The app is designed to serve as a warehouse of the user s previous, archived conversations with the assistant. Much like the functionality of chatbots like Chat GPT or Claude, users can scroll through all of those previous conversations and re-visit a session.
When a user opens a previous conversation, the app provides an overview of what was said so that users don t have to read through the entire transcript. The app is also the place where users can launch a new conversation with the assistant.
