Hussh One + Apple Intelligence
With iOS 27, Siri acts as a routing engine for system intelligence. Here is how Hussh One agents can act as native extensions and securely receive onscreen context via App Intents.
Siri as the Router
Apple's update makes Siri a proper chatbot powered by models like Gemini. Instead of forcing users to open your standalone app, Siri can now route specific queries directly to third party extensions.
When you wrap your Hussh Agent in an App Intent, Siri recognizes your agent's capabilities and hands off the user's request. This means your Hussh Agent feels like a native operating system feature.
Onscreen Intelligence Handoff
One of the best new features is Siri's ability to understand what is currently on the user's screen.
When a user says "Hey Siri, ask my Hussh Agent to analyze this," Siri grabs the onscreen content (images, text, or documents) and passes it to your App Intent. With the Hussh Swift SDK, your agent receives this as IntentFile context and can instantly call the do() function. The user does not need to manually copy or paste anything.
Privacy, Consent, and Custom Models
Apple's direction allows developers to bring their own models. While Apple relies on Private Cloud Compute for system tasks, Hussh ensures that any specialized model you plug in still follows strict and transparent consent rules.
When an App Intent invokes your Hussh Agent, Hussh One's Nav component still acts as the guardian. It guarantees the agent only receives the context the user explicitly consented to, and it records the interaction in a verifiable transparency log.
