Apple is rumored to be building an \u201canswer engine\u201d that would provide a \u201cChatGPT-like search experience,\u201d with a standalone app being reportedly considered.<\/span><\/p>\n

To that end, the company has created a new \u201cAnswers\u201d team tasked with the development of a stripped-down rival to ChatGPT that would crawl the web to provide answers to questions, Mark Gurman writes in the latest edition of his Power On newsletter for Bloomberg<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile still in early stages, the team is building what it calls an \u2018answer engine\u2019 \u2014 a system capable of crawling the web to respond to general-knowledge questions,\u201c wrote Gurman. \u201cA standalone app is currently under exploration, alongside new back-end infrastructure meant to power search capabilities in future versions of Siri, Spotlight and Safari.\u201d<\/p>\n

Apple is building an answer engine with a ChatGPT-like search experience<\/h2>\n

The company has posted multiple related job listings on its website. It is seeking engineers in the United States and China for an Answers, Knowledge, and Information team with the goal of improving Siri, Spotlight, Safari and more.<\/p>\n

Among the recent job listings is one where the company is seeking engineers to help ti develop large language models that are \u201cresponsible for answering users\u2019 questions using their personal documents with privacy at the forefront.\u201d<\/p>\n

These efforts seem to be in addition to a more personalized version of Siri, which Apple announced during the WWDC 2024 keynote but delayed until 2026, which will be able to tap into user data and perform actions across apps to answer user questions like when Mom\u2019s flight is landing.<\/p>\n

Apple must win in AI<\/h2>\n

Apple CEO Tim Cook said on a recent conference call with analysts that \u201cWe\u2019re making good progress on a more personalized Siri, and as we\u2019ve said before, we expect to release these features next year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gurman reported earlier<\/a> that Cook held an hourlong all-hands meeting in which he told employees Apple must win in AI, reportedly telling them, \u201cApple must do this. Apple will do this. This is sort of ours to grab.\u201d<\/p>\n

He allegedly reminded employees that Apple is never first to market, but when it does enter a certain category, it usually brings new value. \u201cWe’ve rarely been first,\u201d Cook reportedly said. \u201cThere was a PC before the Mac; there was a smartphone before the iPhone; there were many tablets before the iPad; there was an MP3 player before the iPod.\u201d<\/p>\n
