Image Features
Unleash your inner artist with “Image Playground,” a tool that generates images based on descriptions or individuals in your Photos library.
With “Genmoji,” create custom emojis from text prompts or photos. The “Image Wand” feature allows you to generate images based on sketches or text in your Notes app.
The Photos app is also receiving AI enhancements, such as creating Memory Movies and enabling specific photo searches.
Action Features
Your trusty virtual assistant, Siri, receives a significant upgrade with Apple Intelligence. Featuring a new look and improved contextual understanding, Siri now allows you to type your requests and provides guidance on how to perform specific functions on your device.
Integrating with OpenAI’s ChatGPT technology, Apple Intelligence can generate document summaries and create original images and text. The conversational interface enhances the user experience by making interactions more natural and intuitive.
Apple in Collaboration with OpenAI
Apple’s partnership with OpenAI leverages the powerful ChatGPT technology, further enhancing Apple Intelligence’s capabilities. This collaboration underscores Apple’s commitment to utilizing external expertise to benefit its users.
