Siri AI in iOS 27 beta 3 can now pull data from select third-party apps, showing the potential usefulness of Apple’s assistant.

In the latest iOS 27 developer beta, Siri AI can pull live information from third-party apps on your iPhone. It’s the kind of feature Siri should’ve had years ago — and now, it’s finally here.
Right now, it only appears to work with a couple of electric vehicle apps, letting you ask Siri things like your car’s battery level. But it’s a signal of where Siri AI is headed — an assistant that finally acts as a bridge across your entire phone, not just Apple’s walled garden.
The new capability, based on Apple’s App Intents framework, surfaced in social media posts from developers trying out iOS 27 beta 3. Developers of third-party apps can utilize App Intents to “make content and actions discoverable by Apple Intelligence and support system experiences like Siri, Spotlight, Shortcuts, and widgets,” according to Apple’s support documentation.
For instance, you might ask Siri about your electric car’s battery level, and Apple’s AI assistant will ask for permission to query a third-party app before answering. (Apple uses this same permission pattern elsewhere in iOS.)
So far, the support seems inconsistent (and of course, third-party apps need to use the App Intents framework). Developer Max Weinbach said it worked with Tesla vehicles — but only when using the third-party app Tessie, not Tesla’s own official app.

Another developer, Jace Craft-Miller, said the same battery trick works using Ford’s official app.
But not everyone has enjoyed that sort of experience. At least one tester said they couldn’t reproduce the feature with their EV. This is a reminder that the feature is very much in beta stage.
If you’ve used Google Gemini and its Connected Apps platform, you already know the appeal here: an assistant that can reach into apps you actually use, instead of stopping at the edge of its ecosystem.
Siri AI is trying to do the same. While currently in limited form, it shows Apple wants Siri AI to feel useful every day in addition to becoming more conversational.
This lines up with what Apple has been building all year. Siri AI is the headline feature of iOS 27, and it’s rolling out via a waitlist system rather than flipping on for everyone at once.
Apple hasn’t shared a list of supported apps. But the fact that it’s working in iOS 27 developer beta 3 is encouraging. And it shows just how powerful the new Siri AI ultimately might become.
If Apple keeps this up, the assistant that spent a decade playing catch-up might actually start pulling ahead.
