Safari on macOS 27 gets AI tab grouping and an extension generator

At WWDC 26, Apple introduced a set of new Safari features built on Apple Intelligence.

The browser will be able to group tabs by topic automatically, generate custom extensions based on plain-text descriptions, and monitor pages for changes on the user's behalf.

The most significant addition is automatic tab organization. Safari can now analyze the pages a user has open and group them into meaningful collections without requiring manual sorting.

Everything Apple showed at WWDC 26: iOS 27, the new Siri AI, and an Apple Intelligence update

For example, if the user is planning a weekend trip and has tabs open for tickets, hotels, routes, and local attractions, Safari can pull them together into a dedicated thematic group. When new related pages appear during the same session, the browser either adds them to an existing topic or creates a new one.

Another notable addition is the ability to generate Safari extensions from a plain description. The user simply writes what they want, and Apple Intelligence builds an extension to match that scenario.

As an example, Apple showed a toolbar button designed to save and rate recipes from cooking websites. The feature effectively functions as an extension builder for users who do not write code. The user describes the task in natural language, and Safari produces a tool that can modify or supplement web pages accordingly.

Safari is also gaining a feature called Notify Me. It allows the user to ask the browser to monitor a specific page and send a notification when a relevant change occurs. The change could be anything from a product coming back in stock to a price drop.

Requests for Notify Me can also be written in plain language. The user specifies what to watch for, and Safari analyzes the page to send the alert when it detects a match.

Beyond these features, Safari is gaining integration with the new automatic password replacement system. Working together with the Passwords app, Apple Intelligence can open the relevant site, log in, and update an insecure password with a stronger one after a single confirmation from the user.

Apple is adding a new feature to its Passwords app that will be able to automatically update weak or compromised credentials with the help of Apple Intelligence and Safari.

Apple emphasizes that the new Safari features were built with a strong focus on privacy. According to the company, personal browsing data is not exposed to Apple or to third parties while these tools are being used.

The overall effect is that Safari is moving closer to becoming an AI agent for the web. It no longer just displays pages, but also helps the user sort tabs, monitor changes, build small site-specific tools, and complete tasks that previously required manual work.
