Intro
The video introduces 10 unique and less commonly known uses for Apple Intelligence, moving beyond basic functions like proofreading and image creation. It emphasizes the integration of Siri with ChatGPT to unlock advanced capabilities across different applications.
Summarize and Get Info From PDF Documents
You can use Siri and ChatGPT to summarize and extract information from documents, including PDFs opened in Preview. When you ask Siri about a document, it prompts you to share the content with ChatGPT, offering options to send a screenshot or the full content. Sending the full content allows you to ask specific questions and receive detailed answers, such as temperature specifications from a studio display manual. You can disable the confirmation prompt in system settings under Apple Intelligence and Siri to streamline the process.
Summarize and Ask Questions In Numbers
Apple Intelligence can analyze spreadsheets in Numbers without needing to convert them to text. By asking Siri to summarize a table or answer questions about the data, such as identifying the most popular fruit based on sales, Siri sends the content to ChatGPT and provides the requested information.
Ask About Photos
Siri and ChatGPT can provide information about photos opened in Preview or the Photos app. By asking a question about a photo, such as the purpose of a line of rocks on a beach, Siri sends the photo to ChatGPT and returns an answer based on its analysis.
Summarize Whole Email Conversations
The Mail app allows you to summarize entire email threads, not just single messages. With conversation view enabled, you can click the summarize button to condense a whole series of messages, making it easier to catch up on lengthy email exchanges before a meeting.
Ask About Locations In Maps
Even in apps without built-in Apple Intelligence features, like Maps, you can use Siri and ChatGPT to get information. By taking a screenshot of a location in Maps and asking Siri to "tell me about this town," Siri sends the screenshot to ChatGPT, which identifies the town and provides relevant details. You can then ask follow-up questions, such as about camping spots nearby.
Combine Image Playground and Copy Subject
While Image Playground generates square images, you can use the "copy subject" feature to isolate the main subject and remove the background. After generating an image, right-click and choose "copy subject" to get a cutout of the subject, which can then be used in other applications. Alternatively, you can remove the background in Preview using the "remove background" tool.
Fact-Check Documents and Presentations
Siri and ChatGPT can fact-check documents, including presentations like Keynote files. By asking Siri to "check all the facts in this Keynote document," Siri sends the content to ChatGPT, which analyzes the information and verifies its accuracy.
Create Sample Data
You can use Siri and ChatGPT to generate sample data for spreadsheets. Although it won't directly input the data into Numbers, you can use TextEdit to compose a request for sample data in CSV format. Then copy the generated data and paste it into your spreadsheet.
Figure Out What You Forgot
Apple Intelligence can help you check lists to see if you've forgotten anything. In an email, you can use the compose feature with the "include all text" option to have AI review your list and suggest additional items. For example, when creating a packing list for a road trip, AI can suggest items you may have overlooked.
Help Answering Questions in Email and Messages
AI can assist in answering questions received via email or messages. By using the compose feature in response to a message, you can paste the question and have AI generate a response. You can then refine the response for clarity and conciseness before sending it.
