Apple has announced that its first Siri-integrated apps which will arrive in the upcoming release of iOS 10. Siri will handle the user interaction – meaning, voice and natural language recognition – and then works with the extension in question to get the information from the app and handle the user’s request.
Even though this may seem limited, there are actually dozens of third-party apps already employing the all-new Siri SDK, or SiriKit. A new toolkit for iOS 10 developers which allows them to build in an extension into their app that communicates with the virtual assistant Siri. And we’ve started to see other types of services like Yelp and OpenTable become accessible via Siri.
Here is the current list of Siri-supported apps.

Ask Siri for a ride. Simply say where you want to go and which service you’d like to use, like “Hey Siri, get me a Lyft to SFO.”
