What is the name of Apple's digital assistant?

Apple’s digital assistant is called Siri. Siri is a software-based personal assistant that can respond to spoken or typed requests, answer questions, control device features, and interact with supported apps and online services.

Siri began as a research project connected with SRI International’s Artificial Intelligence Center. It was released as a standalone iOS app in February 2010, and Apple acquired the technology two months later. Apple integrated Siri into the iPhone 4S, which launched on October 4, 2011. This made Siri a built-in feature rather than a separate app.

Siri later expanded to products including the iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, Apple TV, HomePod, AirPods, and Apple Vision Pro. It is often confused with Apple Intelligence, but the terms are not identical: Apple Intelligence is Apple’s broader artificial-intelligence system, while Siri is the assistant users interact with directly.
