A Terminal command workaround allows users running the macOS 27 Golden Gate developer beta to enable Siri AI features immediately, bypassing the official waitlist. The workaround is reported to be safe and reversible.

Steps

  1. Open Terminal.
  2. Enter the command:
    sudo defaults write "/Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain/GenerativeModels.plist" "EnhancedSiriWaitlist" -dict-add Enabled -bool NO
  3. Restart the Mac.

Features

  • Back-and-forth conversations with Siri in text or voice modes via the dedicated Siri app.
  • Conversation history synced across devices via iCloud.
  • Personal context understanding for searches across messages, emails, photos, and more.
  • System-wide app actions.
  • Integration into Spotlight and right-click context menus on Mac.
  • Siri AI initially available only in English.
  • Not available on iPhone and iPad in the EU due to DMA rules, but available on Mac and Vision Pro.

The workaround was shared by MacRumors, which notes that users should run the beta on a test machine and keep backups.
