To integrate Apple Intelligence into your apps, you can leverage several new APIs and tools introduced at WWDC 2024. Here are the key points and sessions that cover this topic:

  1. Apple Intelligence Overview:

    • Apple Intelligence is a personal intelligence system that integrates deeply into features and apps across iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. It uses generative models to understand and generate language and images, helping users take actions with rich awareness of their personal context.
    • For a detailed introduction, you can refer to the Platforms State of the Union session.
  2. App Intents Toolbox:

    • The App Intents Toolbox allows your app to expose its capabilities to Apple Intelligence. This enables deeper and more natural access to your app's data and functionalities, especially through Siri.
    • You can start working on app intents today, and users will be able to use them with the Shortcuts app immediately. Over time, Siri will gain the ability to call these app intents.
    • For more details, see the Platforms State of the Union session.
  3. Writing Tools and Image Features:

    • Apple Intelligence powers new system-wide writing tools that help users rewrite, proofread, and summarize text. If your app uses standard UI frameworks to render text fields, it will automatically get these writing tools.
    • The new TextView Delegate API allows you to customize how your app behaves while writing tools are active.
    • Genmoji and Image Playground APIs enable new ways to create and manipulate images within your app.
    • For more information, refer to the Platforms State of the Union session.
  4. Siri Integration:

    • Siri has been enhanced with Apple Intelligence, making it more natural, contextually relevant, and personal. Siri can now understand on-screen content and take actions based on it.
    • If your app already uses SiriKit, you will automatically benefit from these improvements.
    • For more details, check out the Bring your app to Siri session.
  5. Machine Learning on Apple Platforms:

    • Apple continues to advance its machine learning capabilities, providing APIs and tools to run models on-device, ensuring low latency and better user experience while maintaining privacy.
    • For a comprehensive overview, see the Explore machine learning on Apple platforms session.

By leveraging these tools and APIs, you can integrate Apple Intelligence into your apps, enhancing their capabilities and providing a richer user experience.
