Apple is putting ChatGPT in Siri for free later this year
Apple is partnering with OpenAI to put ChatGPT into Siri, the company announced at its WWDC 2024 keynote on Monday.
ChatGPT will be available for free in iOS 18 later this year without an account, and Apple says that user queries won’t be logged. The popular chatbot will also be integrated into Apple’s systemwide writing tools.
The long-awaited partnership emerges as Apple strives to integrate AI features that rival those of other big tech companies. Apple had been in discussions with both Google and OpenAI to incorporate their AI technology into its operating systems. Ultimately, it was OpenAI that secured the deal.

There has been speculation that the recent launch of OpenAI’s GPT-4o — a voice assistant criticized for sounding uncannily like Scarlett Johansson in the movie Her — was intended to showcase how OpenAI’s technology could enhance Apple’s Siri.
Alongside its OpenAI partnership, Apple announced a litany of new AI features under what it is calling Apple Intelligence.
