Snap is launching Specs Intelligence, an AI assistant designed to anticipate user needs by connecting to apps like Gmail and Slack to manage work tasks, travel information, and personal priorities across iOS, Mac, and Snap's AR glasses. The service uses proprietary open-source models and promises not to access personal content or use connected data for training or ads.
iOS 27 features a significantly improved Siri powered by Google's Gemini models, enabling complex tasks like multistep directions, on-screen context understanding, and integration with files and messages. Apple Intelligence also introduces natural language Shortcuts creation and other quality-of-life improvements, making Siri genuinely useful for the first time in years.
