When Apple initially rolled out Apple Intelligence, the company was pretty openly against <\/a>the idea of creating a Siri chatbot. Now, things have changed a little \u2013 and the company is rumored to be deploying a Siri app<\/a> in iOS 27, so users can chat with the next generation of Apple Foundation Models. While that\u2019s a great starting point, I think theres a better idea to be tapped into here.<\/p>\n

Messages is the answer<\/p>\n

People already use an Apple-made app every single day for talking. Why not use it for AI?<\/p>\n

It wouldn\u2019t be that inconceivable to have a \u2018Siri\u2019 conversation in your Messages app. Only real issue would be wanting to split up conversation history, but it likely wouldn\u2019t be too difficult to add a picker for conversational AI apps to separate conversation chains.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s just the start though. Why not bring in third parties?<\/p>\n

Apple has, at least so far, fumbled its potential to be a dominant AI platform. Sure, you download AI apps on the App Store, but Apple doesn\u2019t truly own a part of that experience as of yet.<\/p>\n

It could with iMessage, though.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s already a number of conversational AI apps that likely rely on Mac mini <\/a>server farms to provide an experience over iMessage. Most notably, Poke<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Apple also offers Business Chat already. If you\u2019ve ever contacted a companies support line in the Messages app, you\u2019ve probably experienced it. It\u2019s not exactly developer friendly, though.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If Apple, with iOS 27, introduced a new API for developers to launch conversational AI apps on iMessage \u2013 it\u2019d unlock loads of potential.<\/p>\n

Instead of needing to open the Claude app to manage your Remote Control Claude Code session, what if you could just do it from Messages? Or, if you have a financial management app with an AI chatbot \u2013 what if it could just text you about your spending on iMessage, instead of you needing to think about opening the app?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure a number of developers wouldn\u2019t want to give up their control. I can\u2019t imagine a world where you don\u2019t need a ChatGPT app anymore. That said, for tasks where Messages would create genuine convenience, I think it could be a big hit.<\/p>\n

Plus, it gives developers a larger user base, since the user will see it on their iPhone<\/a>, iPad<\/a>, Mac<\/a>, and Apple Watch<\/a>, rather than wherever they installed the app \u2013 typically just iPhone.<\/p>\n

Would you like to see conversational AI apps on iMessage, or would you prefer separation? Sound off in the comments.<\/p>\n
