5 Apple MacBook AI features to try with macOS Sequoia
Apple’s latest macOS Sequoia brings a new layer of intelligence to MacBooks powered by Apple Silicon. Here are five Apple Intelligence features worth exploring for smarter, faster everyday use.
Writing Tools Apple Intelligence introduces system-wide writing assistance in Mail, Notes, Pages, and other apps. You can rewrite, summarise, or adjust the tone of text directly within documents. Whether it’s refining an email or summarising a report, this feature helps produce clear, polished writing quickly.

Image Playground MacBook users can now generate visuals directly on the device using Image Playground. Just describe an idea, and the AI creates a sketch or illustration. It can also modify existing photos, such as removing backgrounds or applying different visual styles—all processed securely on your Mac.
3/5
Smart Summaries Safari and Notes now support automatic summarisation of articles, webpages, and meeting transcripts. Instead of scanning long pages, you get concise, AI-generated overviews that highlight essential details. This feature is especially useful for research or quick reading before meetings.

Smarter Siri Siri has been reengineered to use Apple Intelligence for more natural conversations and deeper system access. You can ask it to locate files, summarise messages, or highlight key information from your inbox—all without typing or switching apps.
Privacy-First On-Device Processing Unlike most AI tools, Apple Intelligence processes data locally using the Neural Engine on Apple Silicon. Personal data stays on your device unless you explicitly permit cloud-based actions through Private Cloud Compute, which anonymises requests for maximum privacy.
