💬 ChatGPT Integration with Siri & Writing Tools: A New Era of Productivity 📱✍️

Exciting news for Apple users! ChatGPT is now integrated into Siri and Writing Tools across iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, offering seamless access to advanced AI capabilities without switching between apps. Here's how it works:
​

• Siri + ChatGPT: Siri can now suggest accessing ChatGPT for certain requests and provide responses directly, saving you time and effort.
• Compose with ChatGPT: In the Writing Tools suite, ChatGPT can help generate content for any document you're working on. Plus, you can leverage its image-generation abilities to enhance your text with visuals.
• Full Control & Privacy: You control when and how to use ChatGPT. By default, no ChatGPT account is needed, and OpenAI will not store your data or use it for model training. For extra privacy, your IP address is also obscured. If you choose to link your account, OpenAI’s standard data-use policies apply.

​
This integration makes it easier than ever to tap into the power of ChatGPT directly from Siri or while composing documents, all while maintaining full control over your data. ✨

More Apple Intelligence Features Coming Soon!
​

Exciting updates are on the way! Siri will become more personalized, using your context to provide tailored intelligence and perform new actions across apps. Priority Notifications will highlight what’s most important, and Image Playground will soon offer a new Sketch style for creating detailed, vibrant drawings. Stay tuned!
