A tester who previously dismissed Siri and Apple Intelligence is reconsidering after 24 hours with the redesigned Siri AI in macOS 27 Golden Gate's developer beta.

The updated Siri, arriving later this year, marks a notable shift for the voice assistant after years of limited adoption. The tester, who disabled Siri on Mac years ago and found Apple Intelligence underwhelming, reports the new version merits fresh consideration. Access remains limited to macOS 27's developer beta, where Siri AI is still in early preview. The company has significant development runway before the public release, suggesting substantial improvements may arrive between now and launch. Apple's renewed focus on Siri comes as the company seeks to strengthen its AI capabilities across devices. The platform's minimalist approach to AI features has historically lagged competitors, making meaningful improvements to core assistants a priority. Developers and beta testers will likely provide critical feedback during this preview phase.
