Apple has launched macOS 27, codenamed "Golden Gate," with a host of new features centered around its improved AI capabilities. Siri AI, the company's first major attempt to integrate AI into macOS, is the standout feature. This version of Siri has been trained on Google's Gemini foundation models, offering enhanced natural language processing, computer vision, and image generation.
Siri AI now appears as a standalone app and is integrated into various macOS components. Users can access Siri from the desktop, right-click menus, and Spotlight search. Siri AI can also analyze screenshots for context-aware responses. The update also introduces Topics in Safari, which automatically groups tabs based on content, and Custom Extensions, allowing users to create browser extensions using natural language.
Safari now features the Passwords app to auto-update unsafe passwords, and Shortcuts app now supports natural language for shortcut creation. Apple Intelligence also brings improvements to Calendar, Image Playground, and Liquid Glass UI refinements.
