Apple reportedly made a ChatGPT-clone to test Siri's new capabilities

Apple reportedly built a Siri chatbot app to test the voice assistant's new skills before its revamp in 2026.

This new app, called "Veritas" internally, will likely never make its way to the public in its current form, but offers Apple employees a faster way to test Siri's new skills. That includes letting users search through personal data stored on their phone, like their emails and messages, or taking action in apps, like editing photos. The reality is that Apple shipped a collection of so-so features that worked, but couldn't pull off its truly impressive demo: a Siri informed on the context of your life and with the ability to actually do things on your phone.
