Apple opens CarPlay to 3 major AI chatbots including ChatGPT

Apple prepares to integrate support for 3 major AI platforms—OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google—directly into CarPlay within the coming months.

Developers can configure applications to automatically trigger voice mode immediately upon opening, significantly streamlining the hands-free experience for users seeking alternatives to Siri.
