app intents and apple intelligience

Apple Intelligence and App Intents were significant topics at WWDC 2024. Here are some key points:

1. Apple Intelligence:

   • Apple Intelligence is a personal intelligence system that integrates deeply with features and apps across the system, built with privacy from the ground up. It leverages on-device machine learning and private cloud compute to handle user requests (Platforms State of the Union).
   • It includes a semantic index to organize personal information from across apps and an app intents toolbox to understand app capabilities and take actions on behalf of the user (Platforms State of the Union).
   • Siri, powered by Apple Intelligence, can now provide deeper and more natural access to app data and capabilities, with new APIs available for developers to integrate these features into their apps (Platforms State of the Union).

2. App Intents:

   • App Intents is a framework that allows developers to define actions and content for Siri, Shortcuts, and other system experiences. It handles communication between the app and the system, enabling features like Siri to perform tasks within the app (Bring your app’s core features to users with App Intents).
   • The framework supports defining core actions and content, which can be presented by system features like Siri and Spotlight. This allows for a seamless user experience across different system features (Bring your app’s core features to users with App Intents).
   • Siri can now invoke any item from an app's menus and understand more conversational commands, thanks to enhancements in App Intents (Platforms State of the Union).
