Bottom line
Claude is now a first-class assistant option on over a billion Apple devices. Businesses whose sites and phone systems are already structured for AI assistants get recommended, and answered, first.
What happened
At Apple’s WWDC keynote on June 8, 2026, Tim Cook’s last as CEO, Apple unveiled a rebuilt Siri AI and an Extensions framework that lets users set Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini as the assistant that answers them, across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Vision Pro. The new Siri holds real conversations and pulls from a person’s own reminders, emails, and files instead of returning a list of links.

The EMOR AI take
Claude, the platform we build our client systems on, is now a first-class option on more than a billion Apple devices. When customers can summon Claude from any iPhone, the businesses whose websites, receptionists, and workflows already run on it are speaking the same language their customers are about to use everywhere.
When customers start talking to Claude on their own iPhones, the way they phrase questions about your services shifts toward natural conversation. Structure your site, hours, and offers so an assistant can read and recommend them cleanly, and make sure your receptionist answers the calls those assistants place. The businesses that speak the same language as their customers’ assistant get surfaced first.
What this means for your business
- Structure your site so AI assistants can recommend it
- Answer the calls customer assistants place to you
- Speak the same AI language as customers
