Summary
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said Apple could eventually build an OpenClaw-like agentic AI system that operates software on users' behalf across iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Mike Rockwell, Apple's Siri engineering chief, said Siri's new engine uses a "completely modern architecture" designed for extensibility, while noting the assistant is still primarily request-based today.
Craig Federighi called computer-use agents an experimental category and said Apple is still focused on finding the right user experience, stopping short of ruling out a future move into the space.
Last week's WWDC introduced a rebuilt Siri on a large language model foundation, but full autonomous software control would go well beyond the capabilities Apple announced.
