It’s not often that CarPlay gets a whole new category of apps, but that’s exactly what happened with iOS 26.4.
As of the latest iPhone update, CarPlay now lets you use “voice-based conversational apps” (AI chatbots).
So far ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Grok have all launched CarPlay versions, and I expect Claude and Gemini to follow suit soon.
I love using AI apps in the car because they enable me to perform searches and ask general questions while keeping my eyes and hands focused on driving.
These AI apps only support voice interactions, making them a lot safer than using your iPhone. And they offer an exciting glimpse at what iOS 27 should enable for Siri.
