It taps into Apple Silicon's Neural Engine to process language, images, or any other context to deliver what the user asks for, all the while protecting their privacy. It will transform apps such as Notes, Mail, Pages, Photos, and even third-party apps. Apple Intelligence will continue to be developed by Apple, and more features will be added in future macOS updates.
