The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

That's new.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

That's unique.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

And that's the thing that if Apple can pull it off, this will actually be a somewhat at least more compelling product than a lot of the other things.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

It's also why we don't know if it's actually going to work yet.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

Totally.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

Yeah, I totally agree.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

Okay, the only other thing we should talk about on AI, and I left this till the very end because I know I'm the only one of the three of us that cares.

The Vergecast

You can now vibe code shortcuts, and that is going to be the greatest thing that ever happened to me.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

I'm going to ruin my phone trying to vibe code shortcuts.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

and vibe code extensions for Safari that let you do things.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

But this idea of like, you can do things on your phone just by asking your phone to do it is what AI is supposed to enable.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

And I think that's one instantiation of it that I think is very cool.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

Actually, I thought it was very bold.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

It was surprising to see Apple adding basic bits of vibe coding.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

Particularly, they also added

In Safari, you can vibe code extensions that like change individual websites, which is like actually a very powerful little feature.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

And I think among the many problems with AI, it is taking this very kind of abstract product and productizing it.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

And that's one thing where it's like, okay, this is still for power users, but you can figure out ways to use that.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

Yeah.

The Vergecast

Yeah.
