copying what Claude Cowork does

One might think that the new Siri AI would be specially integrated on iPhones with iOS 27but in reality its options may end up being even more striking on macOS.

Apple’s desktop operating system promises especially powerful integration because will be integrated into Spotlight: Once you start typing something in the Spotlight search field, the system itself will be in charge of detecting whether Siri AI should take action.

And when it goes into action, things happen.

To start, there will be a shortcut with the Ctrl key that will cause when you press it while clicking anywhere in the macOS interface, a contextual option will appear to make a call to Siri AI and that will give you information about that element on which you have clicked.

But the really interesting thing is that in addition to those conversational searches and queries that one can also do on the iPhone, in macOS Siri AI can act on our files to, for example, extract information about them.

How to enjoy Claude Cowork without having to pay for Claude Cowork

During the presentation, one of those responsible for Siri AI at Apple selected three PDFs to compare the specifications and cost of three 3D printing products. Siri AI scanned the documents and generated a comparison with a comparison table in just a few seconds.

This type of feature is especially interesting, because basically what Apple is offering here is its own Claude Cowork integrated into the operating system. An AI that can manage your computer for you—or at least, manage part of it for you if you let it—to assist you in all kinds of tasks.

Typical examples of things you can do with Claude Cowork on a Mac include things like

• “organize my downloads folder by content type and move old .dmgs to the trash”,
• “go to my supplier’s website, download the invoices for the last month, extract the amounts and fill out this internal form”, or a simple
• “My desktop is full of files and folders, organize it and leave it clean.”

It seems that these types of options are now coming in that Siri AI integration in macOS, and Plus they do it for freetaking advantage of the alliance between Apple and Google and those new local models that will be installed in the operating system to resolve these types of queries.

There’s another interesting bonus here: Apple has promised that all of these AI features are built with privacy as a key focus. In theory, this will mean that nothing you do with these types of functions will be recorded on any company’s servers.

Certainly not in Apple’s, which will use your Private Cloud Compute to guarantee precisely that if local models are not enough, when we have to use the cloud models that Apple offers us, those queries will remain private.

If that integration is as powerful as it promises, we may have here a real punch at the table of Apple and Googlewhose alliance will make maybe (just maybe) Claude subscribers realize that they don’t need to pay if macOS already offers basically the same thing for free. We will see if that promise is fulfilled when we can test this operating system.
