Kind: business · Impact: medium

## In brief

- Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports, citing sources, that Apple CEO John Ternus wants more urgency in Apple's AI efforts.
- Ternus is reportedly pushing AI chief Craig Federighi to move beyond Siri AI tweaks toward agentic and other advanced capabilities.
- The company reportedly wants to turn Siri into a true AI agent, and the report says Federighi has already delivered a functional version of Siri AI.

## Why it matters

If Apple ships a more agentic Siri, developers may need to plan for how their apps and services work with an assistant that acts on users' behalf. The sources do not give a timeline for this.
