Yes — you can start coding today, and Apple’s guidance is to use App Intents + App Schemas to make your app available to Siri and Apple Intelligence.
What to build
- Expose your app’s content and actions with App Intents
- Model your data as entities so Siri can understand it
- Adopt App Schema domains for the kinds of experiences your app supports
- If needed, add Shortcuts, Spotlight/indexing, and on-screen awareness support
Apple says these APIs are available now and are the foundation for Siri integration.
Being in Europe
From the WWDC 2026 keynote:
- Siri AI will not be available initially in the EU on iOS and iPadOS
- Apple says they’re working on a path forward that preserves privacy and security
So if you are physically in Europe, you may not be able to use or test Siri AI on EU iPhone/iPad devices right away, depending on the platform and rollout.
How to test it
What Apple recommends:
- Use App Intents testing
- Then test in Shortcuts, Spotlight, and Siri
The WWDC 2026 App Schemas session specifically says to test early and often using App Intents testing, then Shortcuts, Spotlight, and Siri.
Practical implication for you
If you want to test while in Europe:
- You can implement and validate your App Intents locally in Xcode
- You can test supported workflows through Shortcuts / App Intents testing
- But full Siri AI testing may be limited in the EU until Apple makes it available there
Best starting points from WWDC
- Build intelligent Siri experiences with App Schemas
- Code-along: Make your app available to Siri
- Discover new capabilities in the App Intents framework
If you want, I can also give you a step-by-step “what to implement first” checklist for making your app Siri-ready.
