Here's how Apple Intelligence will improve your writing in iOS 18 ...
This fall, Apple Intelligence will bring a host of powerful features to users. If you have a compatible device, you’ll be able to create original images on command, call on a supercharged new Siri, and use custom AI-crafted Genmoji.
Writing Tools Across iOS 18
Apple Intelligence also introduces new writing tools across iOS 18, macOS Sequoia, and iPadOS 18. Here’s how AI is set to improve your writing across all your devices.
Enhanced Writing Experience
Apple Intelligence writing tools will be available in whatever app you’re using across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. They aren’t limited to only Apple apps. As long as the app you’re using employs the standard text input system—which nearly all third-party apps do—you’ll be able to call on Apple Intelligence to help out in a variety of ways.
Quick Text Rewrite
Apple Intelligence offers several preset styles that can be employed to instantly rewrite your text in a specific tone. Each preset is designed to make it as quick and easy as possible to have your text rewritten. But you’re not limited to these options alone. Like with ChatGPT and other AI tools, Apple Intelligence also supports custom rewrite commands.
Deep ChatGPT Integration
Fortunately, this is where Apple Intelligence’s deep ChatGPT integration is a lifesaver. Baked right into the existing AI writing tools, you can use ChatGPT to do what Apple can’t: compose text entirely from scratch.
Proofreading Tools
Similar to third-party tools like Grammarly, Apple Intelligence also provides proofreading tools that go beyond the standard system spellcheck. With proofreading, your writing style is kept fully intact, but Apple will offer suggestions for revisions based on spelling and grammar issues.
Text Analysis
Finally, Apple Intelligence can also analyze your text and draw out key points. Apple’s writing tools include two available buttons—Summary and Key Points—that will help you hone in on what the text is all about.
Apple Intelligence for Professional Writers
If this works as well as Grammarly Pro, then it will save me 140 USD/year. 3-4 years of avoided Grammarly fees will equal a used M1 MBA or M2 Mini. For professional writers like me, Apple Intelligence will pay for itself!
Diverse Writing Capabilities
Apple Intelligence writing tools are designed to serve a variety of different use cases, and at various levels of need. By making these tools available at a system level, wherever you write text, Apple is poised to make AI mainstream in a whole new way.
