Apple Intelligence is Apple's own AI system, unveiled at WWDC 2024 and rolling out gradually since then on compatible iPhones, iPads, Macs and Vision Pro. The system combines on-device models with Apple's Private Cloud Compute and a Gemini model specifically adapted for Apple, which serves as the foundation of a redesigned Siri. The feature set includes Writing Tools, Genmoji, Image Playground, generative image editing in the Photos app, Visual Intelligence via the camera, smarter notifications, a ChatGPT integration, and deep system-level integration in Mail, Messages, Safari and many other apps.
