Apple Intelligence: Work Smarter
Apple Intelligence is the personal intelligence system that helps you write, express yourself, and get things done effortlessly. With enhanced privacy protections, it gives you peace of mind that no one else can access your data—not even Apple.
Siri
Siri can help you like never before, drawing on your personal context by using the information on your device to help find what you’re looking for—like a presentation file shared with you in an email weeks ago. Siri can even tap into ChatGPT to bring answers right to you. No account needed.
Writing Tools
Use Apple Intelligence to proofread your text and rewrite different versions until the tone and wording are just right, and summarize selected text with a click. Or use Compose to tap directly into ChatGPT to create content from scratch.
Priority Messages
Get time-sensitive messages at the top of your inbox—like an invitation for a meeting in an hour or a contract that needs your signature by midnight. And Mail summarizes messages so you can get the gist of an email without even opening it.
Great Powers Come with Great Privacy
Apple Intelligence is designed to protect your privacy at every step. It’s integrated into the core of your Mac through on-device processing. So it’s aware of your personal information without collecting your personal information. And with groundbreaking Private Cloud Compute, Apple Intelligence can draw on larger server-based models, running on Apple silicon, to handle more complex requests for you while protecting your privacy.
