According to a report by AppleInsider, one of the major focus areas for the Cupertino-based tech giant is to make Siri understand commands the way people normally speak. Citing people familiar with Apple's AI initiative, the report claimed that the virtual assistant is being trained on a variety of prompts which are not direct and rely on contextual understanding. For instance, instead of asking Siri to “show pictures of my dog”, saying something like “I'm feeling nostalgic” or “I want to make a blog”, will also prompt it to show the pictures and ask for further instructions.

However, this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the full list of AI features, according to the publication. Several native Apple apps are also said to be upgraded to allow Siri to perform various tasks within them. As per the report, these apps will be Books, Calendar, Camera, s, Files, Freeform, Generative Playground (internal), Keynote, Mail, Magnifier, News, Notes, Photos, Reminders, Safari, Stocks, System Settings, and Voice Memos.

Last week, a report highlighted that Siri might get a Smart Replies feature that will enable s to quickly reply to emails. In addition, the new report claims Siri will also be able to schedule email replies, forward emails, undo send, save and delete email drafts, block email senders, mark email as junk, unsubscribe from newsletters, summarise an email or a thread, as well as mute and delete emails.
