Summary
macOS 27 Golden Gate will put a new Siri icon in the Mac dock, giving Apple’s assistant its first dedicated Mac app ahead of a public release expected next month.
Apple says the app solves a key use case for rebuilt Siri AI: revisiting past conversations, with iCloud syncing that lets users continue chats started on an iPhone from their Mac.
Two interface options—a Messages-like list or floating-card grid—come with controls for default launch behavior, preview length, and conversation retention for 30 days, one year, or forever.
The app will run on MacBook Neo with A18 Pro and Macs with M1 or later, extending Siri’s new architecture with personal context, on-screen awareness, in-app actions, and broader world knowledge.
The launch marks a shift from Apple’s earlier stance against a standalone chatbot-style Siri experience, even as the company still faces competition from ChatGPT and Claude on more advanced queries.
