Apple has officially unveiled a revamped Siri, now known as Siri AI.
It s a complete rebuild powered by Apple Intelligence, which includes personal context understanding, broad world knowledge, and onscreen awareness.
It can now search through your emails, messages, and photos to surface relevant information on demand.

Siri AI also features a dedicated app that syncs conversation history across all your devices through iCloud, so you can start a chat on your Mac and continue it on your iPhone. That sounds impressive on paper.

But here is the elephant in the room: ChatGPT and Gemini have been doing most of this for two years. Is Apple genuinely innovating, or is this just a very polished catch-up job dressed in premium marketing?

I have been building mobile apps for years. Natively, cross-platform, no-code tools, and most recently with vibe coding. Every generation of tooling made building faster. But publishing has barely changed.

I could build an app in three weeks and then spend another three to four weeks just getting it through App Store Connect or Google Play Console. The first time going through the process was completely disorienting. And if you do not get approved first time, you end up in this rejection cycle where the feedback is vague, the turnaround takes days, and you are guessing what you did wrong.

We've teamed up with @Y Combinator or to give builders one more chance.

Launch on Product Hunt this Friday, tag your post "YC application" @gustaf will personally review the top launches. One or more will walk away with a YC interview, even though the official deadline has passed.
