Apple opens Siri AI to every app with App Intents

Apple has not launched another chatbot feature; it has opened a new operating-system distribution layer for software. Our view is that teams with high-frequency consumer workflows should start integrating now, but only through a thin adapter over existing APIs. Siri should be allowed to discover an entity, propose an action and submit a bounded request; it should not own authorization, workflow state, pricing logic or recovery. The preview is months from customer release, App Store submission is not open until spring, final usage policies are still pending, server-side features have daily limits, and mobile availability excludes the EU today. That is too much platform uncertainty for irreversible actions or a Siri-first roadmap. We would pick one low-risk, reversible workflow, add explicit confirmation, idempotency and an audit trail, then measure completion rate and failure modes against the current in-app path. Build early enough to learn, but keep the migration cost close to zero if Apple changes the contract.
