Apple is bringing ChatGPT, OpenAI’s AI-powered chatbot experience, to Siri and other first-party apps and capabilities across its operating systems.
You can include photos with the questions you ask ChatGPT via Siri, or ask questions related to your docs or PDFs.
Apple’s also integrated ChatGPT into system-wide writing tools like Writing Tools, which lets you create content with ChatGPT — including images — or ask an initial idea and send it to ChatGPT to get a revision or variation back.
ChatGPT integrations will arrive on iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and MacOS Sequoia later this year, Apple says, and will be free without the need to create a ChatGPT or OpenAI account.
Subscribers to one of OpenAI’s ChatGPT premium plans will be able to access paid features within Siri and Apple’s other apps with ChatGPT integrations.
Apple announced a ton of new AI features under the new Apple Intelligence moniker.
While the features are free to use, only a limited number of devices will get access to them.
These devices include on iPhone 15 Pro along with iPad and Mac with M1 or newer chips.
So older iPhones or iPhone 15 users won’t be able to use these abilities.
The new Apple Intellgience features include revamped Siri, writing features across the system, image generation capabilities, and genAI-powered emoji.
Apple announced at WWDC on Monday that iPadOS 18 will include a new “Smart Script” feature that will clean up your handwriting when using an Apple Pencil to write in Notes.
With Smart Script, Apple says it’s making handwriting your notes even smoother and straighter.
The feature improves the appearance of your writing as you write by using on-device machine learning to recreate your handwriting from your notes.
If you need to add to something you have already written, you can tap and hold with your Apple Pencil to create more space.
Apple says Smart Script makes your handwritten notes more effective, fluid and easer to read.
ChatGPT, OpenAI’s viral AI-powered chatbot, just got a big upgrade.
OpenAI announced today that premium ChatGPT users — customers paying for ChatGPT Plus, Team or Enterprise — can now leveraged an updated and enhanced version of GPT-4 Turbo, one of the models that powers the conversational ChatGPT experience.
It was trained on publicly available data up to December 2023, in contrast to the previous edition of GPT-4 Turbo available in ChatGPT, which had an April 2023 cut-off.
“When writing with ChatGPT [with the new GPT-4 Turbo], responses will be more direct, less verbose and use more conversational language,” OpenAI writes in a post on X.
Our new GPT-4 Turbo is now available to paid ChatGPT users.
While the rest of you are out there touching the proverbial and literal grass, the world’s developers are jamming into conference halls to find out what the next year holds for AI and OSes.
Things kick off next week with NVIDIA’s GTC, with the next few months holding Microsoft Build, Apple’s WWDC and, of course, Google I/O.
Invites just dropped for the latter, which is set for May 14 and 15 at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California — the usual spot.
We’ve still got two months to book travel, but we’ll be there (I might pack a hat this time).
While the show is aimed specifically at developers for Google’s various operating systems, things customarily kick off with a Sundar-led keynote.
Google Chrome is getting a new AI writing generator today.
At its core, this Gemin-powered tool is essentially the existing “Help me write” feature from Gmail, but extended to the entire web and powered by one of Google’s latest Gemini AI models.
To get started, head to the Chrome settings menu and look for the ‘Experimental AI’ page.
From there, you can easily enable the new writing feature, as well as Google’s new automatic tab organizer (which I haven’t found particularly useful or smart so far) and the new Chrome theme manager).
If you’re subscribed to Gemini Advanced, this new tool will not give you access to an enhanced writing model, a Google spokesperson told us.
Google’s Chrome web browser is getting an infusion of AI technology in the latest release.
In addition to the writing assistant, AI can also be used to help organize tab groups and personalize your browser.
Chrome’s Tab Groups feature allows users who keep many tabs open to manage them by organizing them into groups.
With the new Tab Organizer, Chrome will automatically suggest and create groups based on the tabs you already have open.
To access these features, you’ll sign into Chrome, select “Settings” from the three-dot menu, and then navigate to the “Experimental AI” page.
