Apple Intelligence

This blog post is for those out there that use Apple products (iPhones, iPads, etc…) and those interested to see what Apple are doing.

Last night… was Apple WWDC 2024. (WWDC = Worldwide Developers Conference). And alot was announced!

Here’s my Top 5…

  1. iPhone and Mac will now come equipped with ChatGPT for free. This is huge. Before you would’ve had to go into ChatGPT to do your tasks, now… access it from Siri for questions, share photos with it for suggestions and create images and texts within documents with ChatGPT.
  2. AI powered Siri. There’ll be a new glowing light that when you speak to Siri, lights up and you can talk naturally to it and it’ll understand everything. If you’re like me – I have on occasions been frustrated with Siri in the past but this looks alot promising. It will understand deeper meanings like you, your, your son, your office location, etc..
  3. Auto-fill Forms. We’re just getting lazy now, right? Yes we are. There’ll be a feature that, if a form needs filling out, you can just ask siri to find a personal document of yours, like a passport and auto fill the details for you directly into the form.
  4. AI editing on the Mac. If you’re a mac user, you can generate new text, proof read and edit, but most importantly (I think, which will be brilliant) change the tone (toneGen). This is all done in any text you type – email, doc, etc…
  5. AI powered call transcripts. Let’s be honest, there’s been times I’d wish, whilst on a call I had a pen and paper handy or something to quickly take notes. Not any more… transcribe your calls, turn them into summaries and share them across apps and emails.

There were some other announcements which, frankly, didn’t really impress me – such as, you can now have a calculator on the iPad. What really impressed me is the way Apple have shared how they’re going to use AI… but more importantly, how we can use AI.
