What’s coming with Apple intelligence

Apple Intelligence is a significant new feature introduced at WWDC 2024, bringing powerful generative models to iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. Here are some key aspects of Apple Intelligence:

1. Personal Intelligence System: Apple Intelligence is designed to be a personal intelligence system that integrates deeply into features and apps across the system. It leverages generative AI models to understand and generate language and images, helping users take actions with rich awareness of their personal context. This system is built with privacy from the ground up (Platforms State of the Union).

2. Device Semantic Index and App Intents Toolbox: Apple Intelligence includes a device semantic index that organizes personal information from across apps and an app intents toolbox that understands app capabilities and can act on behalf of the user. It orchestrates requests using either on-device intelligence or private cloud compute, ensuring privacy and security (Platforms State of the Union).

3. Generative AI Models: The system uses a highly capable large language model that is powerful enough for the desired experiences yet small enough to run on a device. This model allows for low latency and a better user experience while keeping personal data private (Platforms State of the Union).

4. New APIs and Features: Apple Intelligence introduces new APIs for developers to integrate these features into their apps. This includes writing tools that help users communicate more effectively by rewriting text for tone and clarity, proofreading, and summarizing key points. Additionally, the image playground API allows for easy integration of image creation features (Explore machine learning on Apple platforms).

5. Enhanced Siri Capabilities: Siri will benefit from Apple Intelligence with improvements in natural language understanding, contextual relevance, and personal context. This includes on-screen awareness and the ability to understand and act on what the user is looking at (Bring your app to Siri).
