Developers got their first taste of Apple Intelligence's ChatGPT integration on Wednesday, thanks to the newly released iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, and macOS Sequoia 15.2 updates. This integration will occur in parallel with other Apple Intelligence features such as Genmoji, Image Playground, Visual Intelligence, and Image Wand.
For the first time, the public has access to Apple Intelligence features such as integrated writing tools, image cleanup, article summaries, and input input in the redesigned Siri experience in iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and 15.1 releases It will be. However, you will have to wait for future updates to access OpenAI's platform.
Users must opt in to both Apple Intelligence and ChatGPT separately during the setup process or later in settings. No need to have a ChatGPT account or standalone app. However, without a premium account, anyone can access all models in OpenAI, including GPT-4, but the number of queries they can access is limited.
This service serves two main functions: complementing Siri's knowledge base and generating text within the writing tool. After enabling the service, the new Siri will prompt the user to authorize access to ChatGPT with a specific question. Recipes and travel plans are examples of questions where options may come up. Users can also directly prompt Siri to “Ask ChatGPT.”
Compose is another major ChatGPT feature available through Apple Intelligence. Users can access the new Burning Tools feature from any app that supports it. Compose adds the ability to create content based on prompts. This joins existing writing tools such as style and outline.
This feature also provides access to Open AI image generation. This joins Apple's new Image Playground feature, which allows users to generate images with prompts in a pair of styles. Genmoji does the same thing for emojis within the Messages app.
