Developers on Wednesday are getting their first taste of Apple Intelligence’s ChatGPT integration courtesy of the newly released iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, and macOS Sequoia 15.2 updates. The integration arrives alongside other Apple Intelligence features, including Genmoji, Image Playground, Visual Intelligence, and Image Wand.
The public will get its first access to Apple Intelligence features like integrated writing tools, image cleanup, article summaries, and a typing input for the redesigned Siri experience courtesy of the iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and 15.1 releases. They will, however, have to wait for future updates for access to OpenAI’s platform.
Users will have to opt into both Apple Intelligence and ChatGPT individually, either during the setup process or later in settings. They won’t need to have a ChatGPT account or the standalone app. Without a premium account, however, the number of queries they access will be limited, though everyone will have access to all of OpenAI’s models, including GPT-4.
The service will fill two primary functions: supplementing Siri’s knowledge base and generating text within Writing Tools. With the service enabled, certain questions will prompt the new Siri to ask the user to approve its accessing ChatGPT. Recipes and traveling planning are examples of questions that may surface the option. Users can also direct prompt Siri to “ask ChatGPT.”
Compose is the other primary ChatGPT feature available through Apple Intelligence. Users can access it in any app that offers access to the new Writing Tools feature. Compose adds the ability to write content based on a prompt. That joins existing writing tools like Style and Summary.
The feature also delivers access to Open AI’s image generation. That joins Apple’s new Image Playground feature, which allows users to generate images with prompts in a pair of style. Genmoji does the same for emojis inside the Messages app.
