Apple Intelligence: AI for Generative Models, Text Generation and gpat Chatbot Integration to Openai’s Chatbot

Apple had plenty to share during the keynote of the Worldwide Developers Conference. We got our first look at the AI features coming to Apple’s devices and some major updates across the company’s operating systems.

With the rise of Artificial Intelligence, it was no surprise that Apple would be releasing a system of its own. Apple Intelligence is a new system that puts generative models right at the core of your Mac, iPad, and iPhone. That enables a ton of new capabilities across Apple’s native apps, such as the ability to generate images or summarize text.

It includes an integration with openai’s chat gpat chatbot. With the new integration, Siri will automatically determine whether a query would be better suited for ChatGPT. It will then ask for your permission before sending its request to ChatGPT. You will be able to use the service without an account.

As rumored last week, Apple has revealed a new Passwords app that will let you keep track of your login details across different devices. The app will let you generate and store passwords similar to other password managers like LastPass and 1Password. Passwords will be available on iOS, iPadOS, macOS, visionOS, and even Windows.

The iPad is finally getting a Calculator app more than a decade after its release. The Math Notes feature allows you to use the apple pencil to write equations on your iPad in order to have the app solve it for you.

Machine learning is used to improve the appearance of your writing and spell check your notes.
