Apple announced that it will work 'closely' with Google to refresh Apple Intelligence and leverage the underlying technologies of Google's Gemini family of models.

'We collaborated to develop the next generation of Apple Foundation models for an integrated Apple intelligence experience, leveraging private cloud computing to optimize these new models to run on devices and servers.'

This will make it possible to create realistic images, edit photos in unprecedented ways, and get answers regarding visual content.

Some devices offer more advanced models with features such as speech generation, improved voice input accuracy, and natural language understanding.

'We believe that privacy in AI is something that can never be compromised,' Apple said. Apple emphasized that it uses computing in a private cloud in addition to processing on devices, ensuring that user data is protected from access by Apple or other third parties.

The integration of this new Apple Intelligence with the voice assistant Siri will result in the release of a new AI agent called 'Siri AI'.

Siri is included as standard in Dynamic Island.

The keynote speech video showed how to use Siri to find photos, recall messages sent to others, and even use it to set a destination in a map app. One user asks Siri AI, 'When is Suki Waterhouse performing in San Francisco?'

Siri, which resides on Dynamic Island, will display the answer. You can also set a reminder accordingly. At the same time, you can play a Suki Waterhouse song using voice commands.

'Please tell me the route from Jeff's house to the place in the photo.'

The route was displayed along with the map.

Furthermore, tasks such as adding a photo of a specific person to a designated album can also be performed using voice commands.

Siri's voice can be freely customized.

Additionally, the Siri update will also apply to CarPlay and AirPods.

Siri can also perform tasks such as composing messages and emails.

Additionally, Siri will be integrated into macOS Spotlight. Users will be able to right-click on any window or item and ask Siri questions directly. Siri will also be able to answer specific questions about content on the Mac.

Furthermore, a standalone Siri app will be released. The Siri app will be available on iPhones, iPads, and Macs, and will sync across all Apple devices.

Conversation history is synced via iCloud, allowing it to be shared across devices. This feature is also available on watchOS.

With visionOS, you can place Siri's 3D visualizations anywhere you like, and you can control them simply by looking at the 3D visualizations and talking to them, without having to say 'Hey Siri.'

Furthermore, a 'Siri Mode' will be added to the camera. By simply tapping the shutter button and showing the object to Siri, you can get a variety of answers.

For example, you can check the nutritional content of a dish simply by taking a picture of it.

Simply point your camera at the restaurant bill, and you can instantly start splitting the bill with your friends using Apple Cash.

Additionally, you can use dedicated keyboard shortcuts to ask Siri about any part of your Mac screen.

Of course, Siri's image recognition is also effective in visionOS.

Siri can also compose sentences. It can even reflect your usual writing style in the generated text.

It also features an automatic calibration function.

This Siri auto-correction feature is also available in third-party apps.

As of the time of writing, Siri AI is initially available in English, and is planned to be expanded to other languages at a rapid pace.

The new Apple Intelligence features will also be available in Safari.

Open tabs are automatically organized by topic.

Furthermore, Safari can automatically monitor pages on your behalf using its 'Notify me' feature. By telling Safari what you're looking for in natural language, it will notify you when a page is updated. Browsing data remains manageable by the user.

'Describe an Extension' allows you to add Safari extensions simply by describing the desired functionality in natural language. This means you could, for example, add a button to the toolbar to save recipes from a cooking recipe website.

Furthermore, Safari will integrate with the 'Passwords' app, allowing you to change weak passwords all at once.

'Password' automatically updates your accounts on target websites with stronger passwords using Apple Intelligence and Safari with a single tap.

Apple Intelligence is also useful in Messages, Mail, Calendar, and Phone. In Messages and Mail, it understands the context of your conversation and suggests tasks such as creating reminders and notes.

You can also register schedules using natural language in the calendar.

When you call a company's contact number, they can analyze the content of the call and then provide you with relevant information via email.

All of this is processed on-device and not shared with Apple or anyone else.

Apple Intelligence also integrates with the IoT app 'Home'.

You can easily stay informed about various things happening at home, including accessory notifications. While accessory notifications can sometimes pile up, Apple Intelligence recognizes related notifications as a single activity. Therefore, each time these activities occur, it updates, and you only receive one notification.

Furthermore, Apple Intelligence will be able to analyze video recorded by compatible cameras and generate text that describes the content of the video.

Because relevant footage can be extracted from all cameras, when you play the video, 'Home' seamlessly stitches it together, allowing you to understand what was happening in the backyard, for example.
