Welcome…

Apple Intelligence • Apple’s own artificial intelligence features are now on our Macs!

Writing Tools with AI • The Apple Intelligence Writing Tools feature lets you refine your writing in bigger ways than merely checking the spelling. You can use it to proofread your words, checking grammar and syntax as well as spelling, and also revise it to make (say) an email more businesslike or friendlier. If you’re faced with a long piece of writing, the feature can summarise it for you too.

Image Playground Create with AI • Apple Intelligence lets you create great images within an app such as Notes, Messages and Pages, and there’s also the new Image Playground app where you can experiment with them. You help create an image by choosing concepts, adding text descriptions and identifying people from your Photos library to be in the picture. It’s fun, and easy to do.

Apple Intelligence in Photos • Apple Intelligence also improves the way we use the popular Photos app. Using Apple Intelligence, it’s far easier to find what you’re looking for when searching your photo and video library. You get better movies of stories to enjoy too, and perhaps best of all, Apple Intelligence can remove unwanted features in a photograph to improve your compositions.

Watching Memories

Audio Processing in Notes • As well as Writing Tools, the Notes app also benefits from audio transcription features powered by Apple Intelligence. Here’s how to use them.

Making Genmoji with AI • If you can’t find the right emoji for the occasion, why not make your own? Apple Intelligence can do it, and they’re called Genmoji!

Siri with Apple Intelligence • Drawing on Apple Intelligence, the Siri digital assistant gains some great new abilities. It has an all-new design and deeper system integration too.

Settings for Apple Intelligence • Like most things on your Mac, Apple Intelligence has its own settings, where you can modify and customise how the feature works.
