ИИ-агенты от Apple: новая эра в разработке с Xcode 26.3 Translation: AI Agents from Apple: A New Era in Development with Xcode 26.3

On Wednesday, Apple introduced support for AI agents based on Claude from Anthropic and Codex from OpenAI in their application development environment, Xcode.

This new capability enhances the service’s ability to operate with greater independence toward achieving developers’ goals, ranging from task breakdowns to decision-making based on project architecture and the use of built-in tools.

The agents can search documentation, analyze file structures, update project settings, and visually verify their output.

“At Apple, our mission is to create tools that provide developers with cutting-edge technology so they can build the best applications,” commented Susan Prescott, the company’s vice president of international relations with software creators.

She also noted that programming with the aid of AI agents significantly boosts productivity and creativity by streamlining the development workflow.

The interface for interacting with the digital assistant is located on the left side of the screen. Using natural language commands, developers can request the creation of a new project or modifications to an existing one. Following this, the AI will generate a plan and commence work.

The neural network keeps a record of its actions, allowing users to review its work and revert changes if necessary.

Xcode version 26.3 includes the Model Context Protocol—an open standard that provides programmers with the flexibility to use any compatible agent or tool.

It’s worth recalling that in November 2025, Microsoft identified vulnerabilities in AI agents following extensive testing.
