🪰 Buzz Around AI

🍎 Apple Intelligence is available now on iPhone, iPad, and Mac

Apple just added a new smart helper called Apple Intelligence to its phones and computers. When you update your iPhone to iOS 18.1 or your Mac to Sequoia 15.1, you'll get new tools.

What's New:

• Your device can now help fix your writing, check spelling, and make short summaries

• Siri got smarter - you can type to it now, and it knows more about Apple stuff

• You can find photos more easily with a better search

• Only newer Apple devices (with special chips) can use these features

• Some people might have to wait their turn to try it

Coming Soon:

In December, Apple will add even more cool stuff:

• You'll be able to chat with ChatGPT

• Play with picture-making

Why it is important:

While this is just the beginning of Apple's smart helper, it's like getting the first chapter of an exciting new book. The really fun stuff is coming next month! It's not as amazing as people hoped yet, but it's just getting started.

Grok Gets New Super Power: It Can See Pictures!

Grok, just learned something new - it can look at pictures!

If you pay to use X (the site that used to be Twitter), you can now show Grok a picture and ask questions about it.

What's Cool About This:

• Grok can now understand pictures, like funny memes or other images

• It can talk about what it sees in the pictures, not just write words

• This builds on Grok's other new skill of making pictures

• Soon, Grok might be able to read documents too

• This makes paying for X more worth it since you get to use these new tools

Musk says his team is making Grok better really fast. They want it to be as smart as other AIs that can already look at pictures.

Think of it like giving Grok a new pair of eyes - now it can see what you're showing it and talk about it with you. This makes Grok more helpful for people who use X and want to understand pictures better.

Gmail Adds AI Writing Helper

Google has brought its email writing helper to Gmail on computers. Like a smart friend, it helps you write better emails.

You can use it now if you have Google One Premium or Gemini at work. Just tell it what you want to say, and it will write a draft for you.

Want your email to sound different? You can make it longer, shorter, or more proper.

There's also a new "polish" button that quickly fixes up your writing. It's like having a helpful teacher review your work before sending it.

This version stays clear but keeps enough detail for a 4th-grade reading level, using familiar words while maintaining the key information.
