Apple Adds Intelligence Features to Apple TV With Siri AI

Apple announced new Apple Intelligence features for Apple TV, adding a more conversational Siri, personalized entertainment search, and smart home activity summaries through tvOS 27.2. The features target the second-generation Apple TV 4K and later models, with the update arriving in beta.

According to Apple, Siri AI adds a full-screen interface for finding movies and TV shows, displaying poster artwork from the Apple TV app and related recommendations. Users can also ask follow-up questions about content while watching, with responses appearing in an overlay.

Apple said the assistant can answer broader general knowledge questions and perform more actions across apps. The company also expanded personal context support by allowing Siri AI to use information from a paired Apple Intelligence-enabled device.

Apple described a feature where users can ask Siri to identify a recommendation from someone else without remembering the title.

"Play the show Alinda recommended," said Apple.

According to Apple, the update also strengthens Apple TV as a home hub by adding descriptions of activity from HomeKit Secure Video recordings and summarized notifications in the Home app.

Apple said Siri AI can control compatible smart home accessories and activate or deactivate scenes. The fourth-generation Apple TV 4K is available for preorder in the United States at $299, with availability beginning November 13.

According to MacRumors, Siri AI will be available in beta through tvOS 27.2 on supported Apple TV 4K models. The feature will also be accessible to owners of compatible existing devices.
