What if Apple developed its own version of ChatGPT, but never let you use it? That may be what happens with Veritas, the reported name of an iPhone app released internally to test new features for Siri, its virtual personal assistant. In a report from Bloomberg’s technology reporter Mark Gurman, the world’s largest tech company developed and reportedly released an app resembling OpenAI’s ChatGPT to employees as part of its ongoing Siri overhaul.

A representative for Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Siri has been due for an upgrade for some time, but that’s been delayed to sometime in the spring of 2026. There have even been rumors that Apple could employ Google’s Gemini AI technology to beef up Siri’s capabilities.
Veritas (Latin for “truth”) is being used to test Siri features, such as using AI to do advanced searches of emails or songs and to perform actions such as photo editing, the report says. Veritas apparently supports multiple conversations that can be carried on over time, similar to ChatGPT.
Apple has struggled to keep up with the fast-moving AI industry. Users have a lackluster response to its Apple Intelligence features, and the delays to Siri’s upgrade, which at one time led the pack on voice assistants, haven’t helped. There are still some useful AI features on Apple’s platforms, but they have not drawn as much attention as those from rivals such as OpenAI, Google and Meta.
