Apple plans to make Siri an AI chatbot

Apple plans to turn Siri into an AI chatbot that works more like ChatGPT. Instead of only short voice commands, Siri will be able to hold real conversations, understand longer requests, and help across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. This upgrade is expected to be a big focus for Apple in 2026.

Key Points: 

• Apple wants Siri to become more conversational, so you can chat naturally instead of giving quick one-line commands.

• Siri should understand context better, follow longer conversations, and handle more complex questions without getting confused.

• This will not be a separate app. It will be deeply integrated into Apple’s core software, such as iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.

• Reports suggest Apple may reveal more around WWDC (June 2026) and roll it out later in 2026.

• Some reports say Apple may use Google’s Gemini AI models to help power the new Siri features.

AI AND INNOVATION

Adobe Acrobat now uses AI to turn your PDFs into podcasts

Adobe Acrobat just added a new AI feature that turns your PDFs into podcast-style audio. It lets you listen to a document like a conversation, so you can understand it faster without having to read everything.

Details:

• You can upload a PDF, and Acrobat will create an audio podcast from it.

• It can sound like two people talking, like a real podcast.

• You can choose a short summary or a deeper “explainer” version depending on how much time you have.

• It also works with PDF Spaces, meaning it can summarise a group of PDFs into one podcast.

• It’s not perfect, but it makes long PDFs easier to understand.
