Apple refers to it as “personal intelligence,” and it is available on select iPhones, iPads, and Macs. It includes writing tools that enable users to adjust the tone of an email to make it sound more friendly, professional, or concise. Users can also proofread and rewrite the entire content without leaving the Mail app.

Another great feature of Apple Intelligence is “Genmoji”, which allows users to create custom emojis using simple text prompts such as “t-rex or a surfboard,” or a “smiley relaxing wearing cucumber” or something random like a “Squirrel DJ”. Besides, one can also transform a regular picture from the photo library into a “Genmoji”.

Apple Intelligence also includes an image generator called Image Playground. This generator accepts simple text inputs, and users can choose between three different styles: animation, illustration, and sketch. These images can be shared on messaging apps and social media platforms. One can also create personalised images of a specific user, again, using any of the three aforementioned styles.

On iPads, one can convert a simple sketch into an image by simply circling over the sketch using an Apple Pencil and adding more context to create a new image in seconds.

Siri, powered by Apple Intelligence, is more capable than ever. With support for natural language, it can understand words even if you stumble. It also draws personal context from the information stored on the device, including information from emails. For the first time ever, you can now type to Siri. Additionally, Apple is using AI to prioritise important notifications at the top.

Memory Movie is another interesting feature of Apple Intelligence. It can create a movie based on specific photos at a user’s request. Lastly, users can also access OpenAI’s GPT4o via Siri to get more context and answer specific questions, which, according to Apple, happens without collecting personal data.
