@jarrod Image Playground as an API is pretty wild.

@jarrod I think the Unicode Consortium is going to get way fewer new emoji proposals if people can just make their own emoji that work functionally the same.

@jarrod Intelligent 'Reduce Interruptions' focus mode could be cool, could be terrible. Will need a bunch of testing.

@jarrod Watching the app's AI (like Copilot) battle it out with the system's AI on writing suggestions is going to be fun.

@jarrod If these proofreading writing tools lets me uninstall Grammarly, I'll consider it a win.

@jarrod "A new era for Siri" We'll see.

@jarrod Yes, fill my driver's license number please!

@jarrod LOL They used Apple Intelligence to write that email rather than use the 'Superhuman AI' button in the app.

@jarrod On-screen awareness and in-app actions are going to be super cool, but coming later.

@jarrod Double-tap to type to Siri. Nice.

@jarrod Conversational awareness. ✅

@jarrod Did you catch that little indentation on the screen when you press the side button? Nice.

@jarrod "Siri" With a new logo.

@jarrod Apple is really stepping up the cloud computing privacy game here.

@jarrod "Many" of the models run on-device. Some are going to go to servers too, BUT with Private Cloud Compute.

@jarrod Oh yes, asking for those specific actions is exactly what I wanted out of a system AI feature.

@jarrod Whoa... I didn't expect generated images. They look...interesting. But at first glance I wouldn't say they nailed the style like they did with Memoji.

@jarrod Writing tools across everything. With a nice little Genius-like logo. Hasn't mentioned Siri yet.

@jarrod AI: Apple Intelligence it is. (Good call @danielpunkass!) I'm pretty excited!

@jarrod Personal and private are the important to me from that list.

@jarrod Okay, let's get into the AI stuff. What have they been cooking up?

@jarrod I instinctively took a bathroom break during the gaming segment, but sounded like maybe some good stuff there? Will have to rely on others' analysis to know if it's actually something.

@jarrod Those Safari updates were...restrained? The design reminded me of Arc, and Reader and Viewer look nice, but they didn't go very far in the summary/intelligence realm. Maybe we'll see more later.

@jarrod Passwords app is a go. I'm kinda surprised they went with "Passwords" as the name, seeing as they're trying to phase those out with Passkeys. I would have gone with "Keychain". Also, unless I can add arbitrary data to the app, I still might be going back to 1Password.

@jarrod Hey an old iChat Theater feature with those nice backgrounds!
