Above the Fog

Siri AI 🤖 Agents

Siri AI is 🧊 Cooling on Above the Fog’s AI hype radar: a hype score of 26 out of 100 on Sep 27, 2026, 11 points lower than 7 days before. Its current hype episode, running since Sep 9, peaked at 80 on Sep 14; the score is now at or below 60% of that peak.

Apple's new Siri (iOS 27/macOS 27, Sep 14, 2026), built on Google's Gemini: personal context and cross-app actions; the code allows swapping the 'brain' for Claude or ChatGPT.

First seen on Google News (RSS) · Sep 7 — the first monitored source to go above normal for it in the run-up to this hype episode.

Why this stage: still hot but down to 32% of its peak (80 on Sep 14).

Where the attention comes from

“Normal” is the median of the source’s previous 14 normal days for this topic. A source is above normal when its value is at least 30% over that level and stands out from its usual day-to-day variation (z ≥ 2); the share is the part of the hype score that source explains. “× normal” is left blank when the normal level is 0.
