Apple Intelligence is a personal intelligence system that integrates deeply into Apple's platforms, such as iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. It leverages powerful generative models to enhance language and image understanding, helping users take actions with a rich awareness of their personal context. This system is built with privacy and security as foundational principles.

Apple Intelligence works by organizing personal information from across apps using a device semantic index and an app intents toolbox. This allows it to understand app capabilities and act on behalf of the user. When a user makes a request, Apple Intelligence orchestrates the handling of the request through its on-device intelligence stack or private cloud compute, ensuring that the process is both efficient and secure.

For developers, Apple provides new APIs to integrate these features into apps, allowing for deeper integration into system experiences. This includes improvements to Siri, which can now access app data and capabilities more naturally and contextually. Developers can expose their app's capabilities using app intents, which can be used with the Shortcuts app and eventually with Siri.
