Overview

Apple Intelligence brings generative models to the system: Writing Tools, Image Playground, Genmoji, visual intelligence and a more capable Siri. It understands personal context while keeping it private, running on device or on Private Cloud Compute.

Apps join in through system text views, the Foundation Models framework and App Intents, often with no extra code at all.

Writing Tools

Rewrite, proofread and summarize in any standard text view.

Image Playground

Create images in many styles, right inside apps.

Siri

Personal context, onscreen awareness and actions in apps.

Private by design

On device first, and Private Cloud Compute when more is needed.
