Apple Intelligence offers 5 key features you’ll want to use

Apple Intelligence is the personal artificial intelligence system for iPhone, iPad, and Mac that combines the power of generative AI models with personal context to deliver intelligence that’s incredibly useful and relevant.

Apple Intelligence is deeply integrated into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia. It harnesses the power of Apple silicon to understand and create language and images, take action across apps, and draw from personal context to simplify and accelerate everyday tasks.

With Private Cloud Compute, Apple sets a new standard for AI privacy, with the ability to flex and scale computational capacity between on-device processing and larger, server-based models that run on dedicated Apple Silicon servers.

Mike Winters for CNBC:

Here’s a look at a few key features.

1. ChatGPT integration

OpenAI’s ChatGPT chatbot function will be integrated into much of the workflow of Apple’s devices, as an opt-in option for when you need or want it.

This will allow users to answer questions, generate creative content or ask for help with writing or brainstorming ideas across a variety of Apple apps, including Siri, Mail or Pages.

2. AI-enhanced Siri

With Apple Intelligence, Apple’s personal assistant Siri will be able to see what’s stored in your apps and describe what’s on your screen, allowing you to make more complicated requests than what’s currently available.

3. AI-assisted writing tools

Apple users will have access to system-wide Writing Tools, a new built-in AI feature that will summarize, edit and proofread text on your behalf.

4. Image generation

Apple will introduce the Image Playground, an image-generating tool that will be available as a standalone app, as well as a built-in feature in other apps like Messages, Keynote and Freeform… Apple also announced “Genmoji,” which are custom-made emoji that can be shared in Messages.

5. Real-time call transcripts

In the Notes and Phone apps, users will be able to record, transcribe and summarize audio, marking the first time Apple devices have included a built-in feature for recording phone calls.
