  Apple AI on device is equivalent to other tiny models. Apple AI Server is equivalent to GPT-3.5ish Frontier models they are not, but will still give you supercharged Siri & okay-ish writing help. I don't think this has much to do with high-end use cases. https://machinelearning.a…

  Finally, a new Siri, the interface of Apple Intelligence. They are keeping the name and changing the look. It now allows more natural language and follows the conversation.

• @maxwinebach Max Weinbach on x

  Siri now has a new look, no more orb just a glowing light around the display. Siri knows what you mean even if you mess up your words or mess up and correct yourself. It's... actually smart?

• @maxwinebach Max Weinbach on x

  Siri now knows about basically all Apple Products Now you don't have to be tech support for family, it knows and will help

• @tolmasky Francisco Tolmasky on x

  Most people are hoping AI will make Siri better, but personally I'm hoping generative AI will give us a more lifelike Tim Cook that will finally push him out of the uncanny valley. #wwdc24

• @mgsiegler M.G. Siegler on x

  Type-to-Siri, at last. #WWDC24

• @richontech Rich DeMuro on x

  Siri is now the worlds best tech support assistance for Apple Products [video]

• @maxwinebach Max Weinbach on x

  Siri can now find the photo of your licence, find your ID number, then input it when needed in a form Wild

• @munster_gene Gene Munster on x

  Developers will use the App Intents framework that tap into the new Siri.

  The Apple Intelligence design style is a bit of a miss. The new Siri prompt animation is beautiful, but these AI prompts are almost identical to Meta AI. Quite obviously rushed. [image]

  Apple only lists Siri actions with Apple's own ecosystem apps here when mentioning the App Intents upgrades, with exception of sending an email via Superhuman. That's not a great indicator, because App Intents types are very limiting for devs, & a yearly update cycle won't cut it…

• @benbajarin Ben Bajarin on x

  Type to Siri! Finally! Been asking Apple for this for many years!

• @mgsiegler M.G. Siegler on x

  I think I like the new Siri icon/brand, but it also sort of looks like a ninja. A very colorful ninja. #wwdc24

• @maxwinebach Max Weinbach on x

  “Siri when is my mom's flight landing” it knows her flight based on email then says “what's our lunch plan” it brings it up because it was mentioned over a text “how long will it take us to get there from the airport” knows and then does it automatically that's huge

• @nickadobos Nick Dobos on x

  Every app on the AppStore is now a LLm tool App intents means Siri can orchestrate EVERYTHING

• @packym Packy McCormick on x

  Amazing to see that the #1 use case for Siri is still checking the weather.

• @zollotech Aaron Zollo on x

  Siri - New animation - Understands context and if you made a mistake - understands context of what you were talking about before - Type to Siri - Can answer how to do something on your device - On-Screen Awareness - Can take action within apps based on context or request [image]

  Whereas Siri used to be promoted as an easy way to make a call to your Mom, Siri with AI is now being promoted as a way to save you from having to actually call your Mom [video]

• @sdw Sebastiaan de With on x

  Gorgeous new Siri effect. [video]

• @zollotech Aaron Zollo on x

  Siri has a new Look and can understand natural language even with mistakes [image]

• @panzer @panzer on x

  Siri with Personal Context is essentially the basic premise of about 40% of AI startups from the past 3 years. [image]

• @stalman Tyler Stalman on x

  This Siri demo is probably the most useful AI use case I've seen [video]

• @vadimyuryev Vadim Yuryev on x

  Siri just went from trash to top-tier voice assistant. Can't wait to try this! Siri can now take hundreds of actions inside of your apps! #wwdc24 [image]

• @mkbhd Marques Brownlee on x

  Now we get to the big Siri update [image]

• @shauseth Shaurya on x

  siri ask mom to pick me up from my location [image]

• @hshaban Hamza Shaban on x

  What struck me was the attempt, at every turn, to show how the AI tools would actually help you in your daily life. This had the affect of making Apple's effort seem like a beefed up Siri. But by clearly defining its uses, Apple made rival efforts seem absurd and far fetched

• @marvinvonhagen Marvin von Hagen on x

  some very cool stuff, but also super disappointing that siri is not powered by an omnimodel - it's still just siri

• @ijustine @ijustine on x

  New Siri updates look great.. being able to actually take action inside and across various apps. #WWDC [video]

• @rowancheung Rowan Cheung on x

  1B+ users just got an AI agent in their pocket with iOS 18. Apple just announced ‘Apple Intelligence’ that allows Siri to understand icons, widgets, and text on a screen and take actions via apps. You can ask Siri to summarize notifications, texts and emails, meeting notes, [vide…

• @eric_seufert Eric Seufert on x

  Siri will allow for deeper cross-app integration with improvements to App Intents.

• @kelseyhightower Kelsey Hightower on x

  Innovation without UX is just a bunch of features.

• @chrissaad Chris Saad on x

  Ok Siri is cool now. Inferences from all your personal data across apps. Gimme Gimme. #WWDC

• @saschasegan Sascha Segan on x

  Siri appears to me here to be uploading very sensitive personal data to cloud models with all of these sample requests, but Apple is banking on you trusting their cloud.

• @nirave @nirave on x

  I am ridiculously excited about the new Siri. It's just become a must-try AI assistant. #WWDC [image]

• @film_girl Christina Warren on x

  lol. Siri is going to give us a LAM before @rabbit_hmi #wwdc24

• @ianzelbo Ian Zelbo on x

  Is Siri... good now?

• @om @om on x

  But will Siri understand accents that are not “American?” #wwdc

• @jamesm James on x

  The new Siri glow around the edge of the screen is perfect.

• @panzer @panzer on x

  Siri not dead. That full screen border glow is hot. [image]

• @joannastern Joanna Stern on x

  You can now type to Siri in iOS 18. [image]

  This is the new Siri. [image]

• @richontech Rich DeMuro on x

  Consumers make 1.5 billion Siri requests each day. [image]

• @benbajarin Ben Bajarin on x

  Apple framing their AI efforts as “personal intelligence” is how I've always framed the end goal of Siri and an underlying anticipation engine. Let's see how it gets integrated!
