Apple Opens CarPlay to Third-Party AI Chatbots
TL;DR Summary
Apple plans to let third‑party AI chat apps—such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini—run in CarPlay in the coming months. The apps will provide hands‑free chat without controlling car or iPhone functions and won’t be activated by wake words; users must open an app to start a chat, which can launch a voice‑based mode. This expansion aligns with a more personalized Siri arriving in iOS 26.4 and fuller chatbot capabilities later in iOS 27 to compete with these AI services.
