A new report by journalist Mark Gurman from Bloomberg revealed a possible trend from Apple to introduce voice assistants powered by artificial intelligence into Apple CarPlay, such as Claude and Gemini, based on information reported by an informed source.
According to the report, Apple is considering allowing third-party voice assistants to work within the CarPlay interface, after Siri has so far remained the only voice assistant available on the system.
This trend comes in light of the ongoing criticism of Siri’s performance, which has always been considered lagging behind its competitors, especially with the great acceleration in artificial intelligence technologies in recent years.
In the same context, reports indicate that Apple is already working on developing an improved version of Siri based on Google Gemini technologies, with promises of more advanced capabilities.
However, even if Apple opens the door for companies such as Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google to provide applications for its voice assistants on CarPlay, it is not expected to allow replacing the Siri button or changing the activation word for voice commands. As a result, users will have to operate these assistants through their applications separately.
As usual, Apple has not issued any official confirmation regarding these plans, which means that everything reported so far remains within the framework of leaks, and is subject to change at any time.
