macOS 27, codenamed Golden Gate, ships Siri as a dedicated app for the first time, ending years of the assistant being buried in system preferences and menu bar corners.
The update brings three concrete additions: Spotlight integration that lets Siri operate across the full desktop context, personal context awareness that reads your files and communications to give relevant answers, and Visual Intelligence that processes what is on your screen in real time. These are not incremental tweaks. They close the gap between Apple's Mac assistant and what competitors have offered for years.
The full video is worth watching for the hands-on breakdown of how personal context actually works in practice, which is where most AI assistant promises fall apart. Whether Apple's implementation holds up under real use is the question the review puts directly to the test.
