前苹果 Siri 工程师推出 AI 智能体 szn:藏在 iMessage 里,能帮你下单、沟通、跑腿
前苹果 Siri 与 Apple Intelligence 工程师 Nikhil Gupta 宣布推出 AI 智能体 szn,可直接在 iMessage 对话中运行,代用户浏览网站、下单并与商家沟通。该服务已在官网开放注册,向部分用户提供早期访问,并计划于 10 月进一步扩大。与普通聊天机器人不同,szn 强调“代为执行”:可提取并分析共享笔记、Find My 位置和 iCloud 文件中的数据,在对话内完成任务。Gupta 称每位用户将获得独立 AI 模型,每个 szn 智能体拥有自己的名字、邮箱和电话,理论上可像普通联系人一样与外部服务交互。但 szn 如何接入 iMessage 尚不明确,苹果此前曾封堵 Beeper Mini 等非官方接入方式;今年 6 月 Poke 成为首个获苹果批准接入 Messages for Business 平台的 AI 智能体,szn 是否采用类似方式未知。让 AI 直接处理支付信息并自行发送消息,也带来隐私、安全和授权范围问题,具体定价与技术细节仍待官方披露。

Nikhil Gupta, former Siri and Apple Intelligence engineer at Apple, has announced the launch of an AI agent called szn, which can run directly within iMessage conversations, helping users browse websites, make purchases, and communicate with merchants on their behalf. The service is currently open for registration on its official website, offering early access to select users, with plans to expand further in October.
More than just answering questions — "acting on your behalf"
Different from traditional chatbots, szn does not just answer questions but can perform actual actions on behalf of users. Users interact with it through iMessage, and it can extract and analyze data from shared notes, Find My locations, and iCloud files, allowing the AI to complete relevant tasks without leaving the current conversation. Gupta said each user will get a separate AI model, and each szn agent has its own name, email address, and phone number, meaning it can theoretically communicate with external services like contacting merchants, handling orders, or making appointments — just like a regular contact.
The mystery of access methods and unresolved privacy permissions
How szn connects to iMessage remains unclear. Apple previously restricted third parties from accessing iMessage in unofficial ways, such as Beeper Mini, which simulated an Apple device identity and was quickly blocked. In June this year, Poke became the first AI agent approved by Apple to connect to the Messages for Business platform, having an official messaging channel, but it's unclear if szn uses a similar method. Meanwhile, Apple is also enhancing Siri: the new iOS 27 version of Siri can now perform some actions within apps and draft messages based on user habits; OpenAI has also added the ability for Mac version ChatGPT to read iMessages and help generate replies, although sending still requires user confirmation.
Allowing AI to handle payment information directly and send messages on its own behalf means users need to address issues related to privacy, security, and authorization scope. The specific pricing model and technical details for connecting to iMessage remain to be officially disclosed.
